"The Flog" or Fleming's Blog is a space designed for students in Mrs. Fleming's classes to reveal their thinking about a variety of texts we encounter throughout the year. This space is also meant to practice thinking and writing skills needed for more formal communication. My hopes are that this becomes a convenient way to expand on and enrich our classroom experiences. Maturity and integrity are the expectations for proper use and behavior when blogging. All school terms of use in technology apply when blogging on this site.

Blog Assignment # 4: Persuasive Argument

Sir Danvers Carew, a Member of Parliament, was brutally murdered.  A young woman said she saw Mr. Hyde commit this heinous act.  There were no other witnesses.  In this writing assignment, Mr. Hyde is entitled to trial by a jury of London citizens.  You are to act either as the defense (for Mr. Hyde) or the prosecution (against Mr. Hyde).  Your asssignment is to write a closing argument to the jury.  (This is the lawyer's final summary of his/her case and the best efforts at persuading the jury to his/her side.)

    Do you want us to double space it, and how long do you want it to be?
    Thanks.
