12.11 - Research and Notecards

I was not in class today as I was at Bates attending a writing conference with students. In class, there was a substitute and students were working on creating notecards of information to use in their debate (and finding sources if they did not yet have 6 sources or needed more sources).

The goal is for everyone to have at least 6 sources (for, against, or objective facts) and 20 notecards (summary, paraphrase, and/or quotation) ready for class on Friday. People had the rest of the period to work. I met individually with people to discuss their progress and answer questions.

Useful Resources:

Homework:

Continue finding resources (6 or more) for your formal debate topic and creating notecards (20 or more).
