Writing an accurate and complete synthesis

This short take in which you explain Buy Nothing Day (BND) is a little more difficult than it appears, so don't leave it to the last minute! Read the assignment document carefully, and make sure the information you include in your paragraph is accurate and complete. To do this, you will probably have to consult several different sources. Don't just rely on web pages; use the library databases also.

Remember to explain when this day is, what its purpose is, who promotes it and maybe who is against it in objective language using third person pronouns (they, it). Unlike other short takes you have written this semester, this one asks you to conclude with your opinion about BND. Practice writing position statements about BND without using "I think." It's a good revision activity!

NOTE: NO LATE SUBMISSIONS. This paragraph is due on Friday, Nov. 2nd at 11:59 pm. I will not accept any late submissions for any assignments for the rest of the semester. An assignment is late when I publish it in the Zine, usually the next morning. Plan ahead to submit by the deadline!
