EXPOSITIONS - LETS WORK TOGETHER

EXPOSITIONS - LETS WORK TOGETHER

Over the next few weeks we will continue to learn about writing expositions.
Everyone in Stage 3 will have to write their own exposition.

Below is a list of topics - you will need to choose one of the topics to write about.
You will all be given the opportunity to add your thoughts to any of the topics.

We are going to work together to come up with convincing arguments for all topics. Elaborating and refining the arguments will be up to individual students.
You will need to visit the Wiki when you are ready to contribute your ideas. Ensure that you place your ideas on the Wiki page that relates to each topic.
It will be interesting to see how well we work together on this project.
