Write a compound, complex, or compound-complex sentence that explains the distinction between justice and revenge.
Continue MUG with Impromptu Writing:

 Listen to today's NPR news story: "Baltimore Unrest Reveals Tension Between African-Americans and Asians" and write a brief response in which you address the arguments made by the interviewees regarding justified looting.

Class discussion:

Consider the deeper problem presented in the arguments made here and the argument presented in yesterday's homework Question 2-2013.  What parallel do you see?

Homework:
I distributed a copy of the Question 1 Synthesis Prompts beginning with last year's through 2008.  Your assignment is to carefully read and annotate each prompt and write a thesis statement, 2-4 reasons that explain your position, and 2-4 counterarguments.  These will all be due next week.  Get started.
