Look through your notes from the recent round of Oral Papers.
Engage with ONE of the oral papers in one of the following ways:
1. Present a disagreeing rebuttal to the thesis, providing at least TWO items of textual evidence that support your rebuttal. (Provide chapter and verse for your rebutting evidence.)
2. Present a supportive response to the these, providing at least TWO additional items of textual evidence that bolster your support. (Provide chapter and verse for your supporting evidence.)
Please note: disagreeing with someone's thesis does not mean you thought their oral paper was weak or insufficient. It simply means you see things another way. In truth, a good thesis is one that a rational person can reasonably disagree with. So you needn't fret about hurting anyone's feelings.
Simply state your case - whether you disagree or agree and why (based on strong textual evidence).

I am a poet, but I didn't know it.
The basic rhyming unit of Hebrew poetry is a complete thought. That "rhyme" isn't one of sound, but rather one of thought, for example:
I am weary to the bone.
Indeed, I am tired unto death.
Rhyming ideas isn't necessarily easier than rhyming words. In fact, it might be more difficult because it requires a certain finesse of phrasing and style.
For this post, you will compose a Hebrew-styled lyric. The basic structure will be as follows:
Part A (rhyming ideas about a certain topic/emotion/reality/etc.)
Pivot ("But....")
Part B (rhyming ideas that oppose/respond to/clarify/correct the content of Part A)
For example:
Several idea-rhymed couplets about how much school is breaking your spirit.
BUT several idea-rhymed couplets about what a privilege and gift it is to attend university.
Your poem can be serious, reflective, or onion-like sarcastic -- just be sure to follow the template above.
Parts A and B must each have at least 4 sets of rhyming couplets (i.e. 8 lines), so your final pome must be at least 16 lines long.
Ready - write!

May I approach the bench, your honor?
Look through your notes from the recent round of Oral Papers.

1. Present a disagreeing rebuttal to the thesis, providing at least TWO items of textual evidence that support your rebuttal.
2. Present a supportive response to the these, providing at least TWO additional items of textual evidence that bolster your support.
As part of your response, you may draw parallels between two of the oral papers in substantive and interesting ways.
Please note: disagreeing with someone's thesis does not mean you thought their oral paper was weak or insufficient. It simply means you see things another way. So don't be afraid or worried about presenting an opposing view. In truth, a good thesis is one that a rational person can reasonably disagree with. So you needn't fret about hurting anyone's feelings.
If you take an opposing view, do it with respect and clarity.
If you take a bolstering view, do it without being overly "bravo awesome."
Simply state your case - whether you disagree or agree and why (based on strong textual evidence).
