Life in the USA: Finding a Job

             I was so happy to see how you all helped each other last week, from making gmail accounts to publishing.  You are amazing!
             Let's keep practicing with the technology so we become comfortable with this process.  You all showed me that you understand how to write a thesis.  I saw some confusion with evidence. Remember to choose the best quote that proves your statement.   On Monday, in our Socratic Seminar, we focused on providing evidence.  In this week's blog, please provide a thesis and two pieces of evidence from the article "Life in the USA:  Finding a Job" by Elizabeth Claire.

              Are people who are comfortable with technology more successful in finding a job?

Barack Obama

Welcome to blogging!  It is fun and like fb messaging, you will be able to communicate with your peers about the literature we read in class.  On Monday we had a Socratic Seminar based on the text Barack Obama by Nikki Grimes.  You had some interesting questions and from them I chose one that seemed quite popular amongst the two ESL groups.  Do you agree that Barack Obama is the first black president of the United States?  Please state your thesis and give your evidence.  You will see that the blog mirrors the socratic seminar discussion and these form the structure of the Open Response.
