Keep thinking about possible topics for your project

Tonight I want you to further acquaint yourself with the types of sources that need to be provided to allow for a balanced, fair and informed response to a debatable position (which is what your synthesis prompt should facilitate).  I want you to read the six sources for the 2014 synthesis prompt and then, at the bottom of each, write whether you think they best help support or refute (or are neautral) the idea that college is still worth the cost. But don't stop there.  Write at least three points that might be taken from the piece in support or refutation  of that claim.  I want you to notice that the sources should not be redundant - they should each add a new wrinkle to the argument. Even the three pro sources, for example, should provide diverse angles and information on why college is still worth the cost.  Likewise, the con sources should provide a diversity of information and ideas.  In general, each source should somehow deepen, expand or further the discussion.  The sources shouldn't merely present the same info and ideas in somewhat different forms.
