Final exam readings

The readings for the final exam have been decided. They will be "Dot-com this!" by Stephanie Nolen from The Globe and Mail, Aug 28, 2000. pg. R.1. This is in the course textbook, Writing by Choice. You can also get it through the library's online databases: Canadian Newsstand: Major Dailies ProQuest. The second article, also available in the textbook and online, is "Peer mediation as an alternative to the criminal justice system" by June Maresca from Child and Family Canada, fall, 1996.

The first thing you should do is read both of them carefully. One of them is full of crap inaccurate claims. Which one is it and what are the claims? Once you've read them, you should think about what kind of topics will be on the exam. These will be stated like this:
"Argue that ... should OR should not .... Be sure to support your answer with specific reasons and examples."
Have a good break.
