Today we had the first day of our final. Our work today took most people longer than planned so we will be allowing for an extra half hour on part 01 in the second part of the final on Wednesday.
I will modify part 02 of the final so that it can be completed in the remaining hour of final time on Wednesday. For this part of the final, it will be helpful for people to review the appeals and rhetorical devices we studied in the first part of the year (see below).

06.03 - Program Investigation and Evaluation (work day)
Everyone had the period today to work on their program investigation and evaluation. At this point, each person should have identified the group/organization's program they want to investigate and be using that group/organization's site and/or related news article about their program to gather information. Resources for this work are located below:
Program Investigation and Evaluation Activity
(directions and worksheet)
Program Investigation Brainstorm
Groups/Organizations that seek to address the problems people have been researching in class.
Everyone should choose one group/organization associated with their problem.
For those unsure which group/organization to choose, I have identified a default/top pick that would be well suited for this investigation
For homework, people should check out the provided list of groups/organizations to investigate (along with any other groups with which they may be familiar) and then select a group/organization whose work interests them and that they would be able to fully investigate.
People may also begin identifying important information about the group/organization and creating notecards. Everyone will have the period tomorrow and Thursday to work on this assignment.

06.02 - Program Investigation
Today we began work on our program investigation where everyone will research a group or organization that seeks to help solve the same problem that people in class were researching. In class, we reviewed what this work will require (see Program Investigation activity below) and brainstormed groups/organizations that people could investigate.

06.01 - Grade Reports and Revisions
At the beginning of class today, I handed out update grade report sheets and returned the debate observation work that people completed last week for the debate in Ms. Gervais' class on women in military combat roles.
Everyone had the rest of the period to work on revising these debate sheets and revising or completing their essay on a problem that affects our community (resources below). I was on hand to meet individually with people and respond to questions or provide guidance on these assignments.
