Welcome to the wiki for college prep English.
One thing we will work on during this class is critical thinking. One way to approach that topic is through a discussion of controversial topics. You and your classmates will engage in on-line discussions of a variety of topics over the next several weeks. Remember - these will be //discussions//, not "I'm right and you're wrong" fests. An opinion can't be wrong, but it is likely to be given more credence if it is backed up with logic and concrete evidence. AND it is **always** likely to be given a more friendly reception if it is couched in language that is courteous and that reflects an attitude that is respectful of differing points of view.

Please be sure to check the number of the assigned topic.
i do not think that cutting sports is a good idea. it has been provent that students in extracarricular activities are more well rounded students that seem to have an easier time excelling in their classes.

I agree. If they did cut sports, some students would have no reason to keep there grades up and wouldnt care if they bomb there classes. Sports is one of the most important reasons why students grades are kept up.
