Seniors

Your prompt for Friday concerns current robotics technology and how it affects humans, both positively and negatively. You'll pick a specific focus (i.e. service, medical or military applications) and find about three sources that discuss current research and development of technology in that field.

Consider the impact these technologies have on the human population; then, write a thesis summarizing your opinion, including examples from your articles as support. Your essay must include examples of BOTH positive and negative effects. Use credible sources only, and cite everything according to MLA. This essay will include a works cited page.

This essay should be around 500 words and will be written in class. You are required to turn in your highlighted sources with the final draft.

We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
