Blog number 4 and 5

Good morning students,

It's time for Blog 4/5. Remember the handout on the health system in Chile that we discussed in our last reading class? Well, after reading that thoroughly, you will write an opinion piece. Here is your prompt :

Statistics show that on a ranking system of the most improved health systems in OECD countries,  Chile placed 23rd while the US placed 24th. Despite bigger efforts made by the US, both countries have a life expectancy of 78 years. Some people think the reason is that the health care system in Chile is quite successful. Do you agree that the health reforms in Chile are one of the best in the world? Why or why not ?

Para 1: Start with thesis ( topic plus your stand).     1 or 2 sentences
Para 2: Argument one plus supporting reasons and examples.  5 or 6 sentences
Para 3: Argument two plus supporting reasons and examples.  5 or 6 sentences
Para 4: Conclusion that restates the thesis.  1 or 2 sentences

Remember:
Every paragraph must begin with an indent.
Every paragraph must focus on ONE main idea.
Every sentence must begin with a capital letter.
After you finish, pull out your punctuation sheet, and make sure your commas and periods are well placed.Check for spelling mistakes and grammar errors.
Most importantly, you MUST make reference to some ideas from your handout. Use at least 8 to 10 new and interesting words that we saw in the handout.

I am happy to check your drafts if you bring them ready to class next Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Deadline for blogs and comments on three different people is on Thursday May 13, 2015 at 12 am.
Anything posted after that will not be graded.
