SWBAT investigate the topic using credible sources and create a message.
SWBAT connect their learning to Question #6 “How can I get wisdom from crowds?” and Question #7 “How can I handle the downside of crowds?"
Today, you will summarize what you and your peers investigated and create your message. We'll start by reviewing (funny!) petition examples to see how others might craft a message. Then you'll practice the petition recipe yourself to master making claims, using relevant evidence, and finally making a formal request. Have fun crafting your message!
