  2.     What does each section say? What is the content?
  3.     Which section is most developed?
  4.     Which section is least developed?
  5.     Which section is most persuasive? Least persuasive?
  6.     From your chart of the text, what do you think is the text’s main argument? Is it explicit or implicit?

About me Poster:
  •     Your job today is to make a poster that conveys aspects of your life. Your poster must include:
  •     Your name
  •     Why are you in the Health Academy? (2-3 sentences)
  •     What is important to you? (you can write this out or simply make images that symbolize those things. For example I would put a dog paw on mine because I love my dogs).
  •     What are a few of your goals related to school and your career? (3-5 sentences).
  •     Fill any empty space with things that represent you or the things you love. For example I would put the Steelers logo, Angels logo, and The Clippers logo because those are my teams. I would also draw a cactus because I’m obsessed with them. MAKE SURE YOUR POSTER IS FULL!
