Additional Info
Read the essay Colleen Wenke's essay entitled "Too Much Pressure" in class today. For homework, complete the "Journal Writing" assignment that you see at the end of the piece.

The journal writing assignment is as follows: Do you agree with Wenke that most students think cheating is acceptable? Write down your views of how common cheating is in your school and what students' attitudes are toward it.

Your essay should have a clear rhetorical strategy--in other words you should be writing to create an effect, just as we've seen other authors do this year. Along with your essay, you need a separate paragraph in which you identify the strategy you tried to employ and an explanation of why you felt that was a good strategy to use Also, point out specific pieces of language you used to help develop this strategy. Due Friday.

Essays should be one to one-and-a-half pages; that length requirement does not include the separate paragraph that addresses your rhetorical strategy.
