Synthesis 1

Straight from the 2008 AP English Language and Composition Exam:

Introduction
In 2001 United States Representative Jim Kolbe introduced legislation to Congress to eliminate the penny coin in most transactions. Although this legislation failed, there are still consistent calls to eliminate the penny as the smallest-denomination United States coin.

Assignment
Read the following sources (including the introductory information) carefully. Then write an essay in which you develop a position on whether or not the penny coin should be eliminated. Synthesize at least three of the sources for support.

Be sure to post your thesis statement and the sources you'd use (briefly explaining in what capacity) by 10pm on Mon. 3/31.

Feedback on at least one other post due by 10pm on Thurs. 4/3.

Label with your name and "Synthesis 1."
