They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
No no no
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?

Directions for Gathering Info and Tracing an Argument:
Use your key words and questions to search using the following search engines:
- When you get your search results be sure to look at the name of the website, and the name of the article. Look at the ending of the website to help you.
.gov = government - these websites are sponsored by the government
.org = organization - these websites are sponsored by various organizations
.edu = education - these websites are sponsored by schools and universities
.com = commercial - these websites are sponsored by individuals or commercial businesses
- When you find an interesting looking article begin by clicking on it and scanning the information. Be sure to use the graphic organizer to record the Title of the article, the name of the resource, and important information.
- Decide what the authors claim and main argument are.
- Select what evidence the author uses to support their claim
- Evaluate if there is enough evidence to support the claim.
- Evaluate the Quality of the source
* You need multiple sources!!! (at least 3-4 & 1 book if possible)
* You will fill in a “Tracing the author’s argument for each resource.
* You will use the “Tracing Arguments” graphic organizers to help you write your Research Based Persuasive Essay and complete your project.
