Quiz # 3
This quiz will be worth 100 points and 15% of your final grade.
Part One: Speaking
**You will be evaluated on: 1) presenting at least 2 clear arguments and 2) correctly using verb tenses.**
1. As we've discussed, one of the main themes of A Visit From the Goon Squad is the passage of time and aging. Consider the following quote:
“Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.”
― Maya Angelou
2. Agree or disagree? Prepare your arguments for a mini-debate. Think of both arguments FOR your position, and also try to anticipate arguments your partner may make and think of ways to refute them. You will have 3 minutes to present your arguments. (5min)
3. Present your position to your partner (each side 3 minutes)
4. Try to refute your partner's arguments. You have one minute to prepare and one minute to speak.
