At the beginning of class today, everyone looked at their argument focus declaration sheets and identified which elements they had managed to find information for in their research and which elements still needed to be researched.
Then, half the class used this reflection to begin doing their research and the other half of the class read an article related to our current debate topic and responded to reading questions on the article rebuttal sheet.
Next class, the people working with the article will have time to research and the people who were researching today will be reading and responding to the article.
Handouts:
Teen Ink: Legalize Marijuana
Article Rebuttal
Homework:
If you were researching today: Continue your research creating 20 or more notecards for our next class.
If you were reading the article today: Complete the article rebuttal sheet.
