Will you join us?

Seriously....

• Do you BELIEVE the world is round?

• Do you KNOW the world is round?

• Do you UNDERSTAND the world is round?

• Do you believe in atoms, DNA, evolution, gravity, or global warming?

Could you win an argument?

Your assignment:Write an argument that will convince a flat-earther that the world is round (spherical, actually).

Some guidelines:• Work for no more than 30 minutes • Avoid the internet and wikipedia (we all know Stephen Colbert manipulates it)• Email me your response (handwrite it as a last resort)• I’m not looking for perfection—just 30 minutes of your focused effort. (~1 page or 250 words)
