02.03 - Argument Practice

We started today's class with an article that was published today titled, "Colorado Warns About Marijuana Danger for Pregnant Women, Drivers and Youth". People were to read this article and then write a five-sentence argument using information from the article that would serve their side in our class debate on marijuana legalization. These arguments were to use at least one direct quote and should feature proper in-text citations.

Following this, people had the remaining time in the period to work on the following three tasks (each task needed to be completed before moving on to the next one):

- Finish the article rebuttal activity from our class on 01.26
- Complete twenty notecards related to your individual topic for our class debate
- Identify two to three basic arguments into which you can organize your information on your debate


Homework:

Complete your article rebuttal (if it is not already done)

Complete your twenty notecards on your debate topic (if it is not already done)

Identify two to three arguments into which you can organize your information on your debate
