We started Unit 2 today, by looking at different worldviews that the Europeans and Aboriginals had. I gave you a Unit 2 concept web, and a Unit 2 Worksheet today. If you missed class today, you need to get these handouts. You have your in-class position paper tomorrow in class, please go directly to the Blenheim Room.

can we use the same arguments and examples u gave us in-class?

I'll try to answer these as quickly as possible:
Yes.
Yes.
Just your position and arguments.
Hey Mr.G, I know you said don't ask essay questions, but this one is not long to type out. For our intro paragraph, when we outline our points for each side of the argument, do we need to outline our side we support twice? Because if we go into outlining the opponents of globalization first, then outline the proponents of globalization second..then go into a thesis, don't we have to do another sentence outlining our 3 body paragraph topics? So in a way, outlining the proponents of globalization before this sentence would be kind of redundant.

That's not the way it works. Here's what you do:
- Introductory sentence
- Importance of the issue
- Other side's perspective of the issue and three arguments for that position
- Your side of the issue with three arguments
- Your thesis statement
Hey Mr.G. For our essay we should write in third person right? Can we write in any other point of views? When we mention an example do we write it in third person?
Soo...we also need to write about the other side's perspectives?

In the first paragraph. Please check the marking uide that I gave you, it's one of the key things that I'll be looking for in your introduction.

Don't use "I", it makes your position weak, especially if you use "I think", "I feel" or "I believe". In debate that's a no-no because you open yourself up to attack, same in position papers (minus maybe the "attack" part).

Alright, so we state our outline of our 3 arguments before our thesis statement?

Yes, your view on the issue, and your 3 arguments provide the perfect lead-in to your thesis statement.
