Final Exam questions.

OK... if you're looking now, I'm actually 1 day early.

The 5 PARAGRAH research question is a choice of A or B or C.

A) What is the first thing that Barack Obama should do when he gets into office?
B) Why should I hire you?
C) How can we make Reading a more beautiful and safe town?

Neither of these NEEDS TO BE written about on the index card. If you're doing A, think about what the most important thing he can legislate towards is. Tell me why, and be done. Stanard 5 paragraph setup. If you're doing B, use this as preparation towards an interview. I have been asked it in the past. If I was interviewing you, it would be the only question I ask at the first interview. If you're doing C, think logically and ask yourself, what would make you and those close to you more likely to come to Reading for fun and business.

For the 7 PARAGRAPH persuasive essays, the topics include:
A) Should we bail out the auto industry?
B) What should we do about the Somali pirates?
C) Should George Bush pardon Ramos and Compean before leaving office?
D) What should the U.S. do with the terrorist detainees at Guantanamo Bay?
E) Should Americans pay tax dollars to help rebuild Gulf Coast cities after hurricanes?
F) What should the U.S. do about the situation regarding ILLEGAL / UNDOCUMENTED immigration (not legal immigration)?
G) What should have happened to Lori Drew over her role in the Myspace suicide case?
H) Considering the case of Stacy Snyer and her "drunken pirate" Myspace picture, should schools and businesses be able to hold Internet behavior against students and employees?
I) Defend the censorship of any cultural medium or defend freedom of speech as an ABSOLUTE value that cannot be censored in any case.
J) After watching Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat, EITHER attack outsourcing as unfair and economy crippling or defend it as a cost-cutting necessity that will strengthen our economy.
K) What should the United States do about Iranian nuclear intentions?
L) Should the United States leverage Pakistan to release suspects to India in the Mumbai tragedy?
M) Is global warming real and potentially devastating or the greatest hoax of all time?

For all of these, use the standard format to back up your answer. You may use a note card with notes. You must use facts. If you're rambling out an opinion, you don't have a solid answer. I'm telling you in advance so that you can make this paper meaningful.

Don't forget, you can fail this class if you don't do this.

While you can bring a notecard, you can't bring an essay. If you bring an essay, I will find you guilty of cheating and fail you for the semester - regardless of your grade.
