Cheap Gas
The entire year in economics we have been learning about supply and demand. We were given an essay that was written from the year after hurricane katrina about gas prices spiking. We wrote a paper about the gas problems and our thoughts on how to fix them.
Skills and Objectives
- Know and use a variety of prewriting strategies to generate, focus, and organize ideas (e.g., free writing, clustering/mapping, talking with others, brainstorming, outlining, developing graphic organizers, taking notes, summarizing, paraphrasing).
- Compose drafts that convey an impression, express an opinion, raise a question, argue a position, explore a topic, tell a story, or serve another purpose, while simultaneously considering the constraints and possibilities (e.g., structure, language, use of conventions of grammar, usage, and mechanics) of the selected form or genre.
Justification
I decided to include this in my portfolio because it shows how I can write about essays and stick to my thesis. I wrote a strong thesis and a somewhat persuasive argument about how I would fix America's dependency on foreign oil. After writing this paper I feel much more comfortable writing strong essays. For these reasons I have included this essay in my portfolio.
