2. Vocab Quiz
3. Check-in on research: what challenges did you face?
4. Bibliography--do you have 8-10 sources? Are 2 of them books?
5. Begin outlining essay
First, let's look at another sample prompt:
A recent Supreme Court decision has provoked much debate about private property rights. In it, the court ruled that the city of New London was within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution when it condemned private property for use in a redevelopment plan. This ruling is an example of the classic debate between individual rights versus the greater good.
Carefully read the following sources, including any introductory information. Then, in an essay that synthesizes at least three of the sources for support, take a position that supports, opposes, or qualifies the claim that the governmental taking of property from one private owner to give to another to further economic development constitutes a permissible “public use” under the Fifth Amendment.
What do you notice about the structure of the prompt? What information does the intro give? What is the student being asked to do in the essay?
