1) For chapter 1, write three things based on the reading that supports the above resolution. This is the "pro" argument.

2) For chapter 2, write three things based on the reading that goes against the above resolution. This is the "con" arguement.

Without the freedom to express ourselves through speech, things that have an opinion would never reach the world without being heavily screened, and probably heavily edited. If you strangle someone with rules about what they can say, all it will lead to is rebellion. It took a long time for America to develop into the society of today, many wars and consequences to create our laws, and those laws which we based our country on should be upheld


AND

3) Write a paragraph where you state your opinion on the issue. It should include some evidence from the reading, but it does not have to follow each viewpoint to the letter. You can also include ideas and evidence from other sources or individuals.


In addition to posting this on your blog you should print it out and put it in your notebook. You should have a section in your notebook devoted to the upcoming censorship debate and this should be in there.
