Make sure you understand what is being asked of you and what you are REQUIRED to do; commit this to memory. 3. CLOSELY READ and ANNOTATE all of the texts provided in the task. 4. Formulate an opinion and, consequently, a THESIS that you can support. 5. Choose the three or four examples (QUOTES!) from the texts that you will use to SUPPORT your side of the argument. (MINIMUM OF THREE)
