QUESTION

The Subject: The public letter.  Read Lisa Friedman’s New York Times article “California Reveals Its Plan to Phase Out New Gas-Powered Cars by 2035” before composing your essay.

response purpose will be constructed as an argument.  As such, your paper will have a thesis, reasons, evidence, and persona.  The essay needs to make reference to Friedman’s article multiple times throughout your paper, but you will also need to branch out beyond what is written in that original essay to include rationale and support of your own making/research.  When writing your response, consider what would be most persuasive to a diverse set of readers who represent different ages, socio-economic classes, political affiliations. Students can sufficiently complete the requirements highlighted above and still have a substandard essay if they do not assemble the essay properly.  For this paper, focus on having unified paragraphs

What research questions might they ask of the text? What would stand out? Using this approach, be sure to closely read the elements of your chosen text.
