Writing Sample (In-Class Writing for Tues. 9/11/12)

Read the following article practicing the reading strategies you were introduced to earlier in the class period. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-rieckhoff/my-911-story_b_29144.html

In this article, Rieckhoff writes about a dramatic rescue attempt that he witnessed in the aftermath of 9/11. A doctor is forced to make a difficult decision about how to save a young woman. Do you agree with his decision? Use evidence from the text to support your argument. Then, compare this event to a time in your own life when you have made a difficult decision or sacrificed something for someone else.

In your answer, include:
An introduction that clearly states whether you agree or disagree.
Specific examples from the reading and your own life to show, explain or prove why you agree or disagree.
A conclusion that recaps your introduction.

You should post your answer to your OWN course blog and hit publish when you are finished.

You have the rest of the class period to work. When you are finished, you may leave for the evening.
