Agenda:
Independent reading time
Receive a pink and green highlighter
Quick debates! Today: Is it better to be an early bird or a night owl?
Your team must prepare TWO reasons. You need anecdotal evidence and factual evidence.
Debate!
Last class, you made arguments for or against the idea of year-long school. Let's now take a look at some resources that make similar arguments.
Article: use your GREEN highlighter for arguments that support and your PINK highlighter for arguments that do not support it.
Infographic: let's look at the infographic and discuss the items. Is there something you haven't thought of? What's surprising?
Take a position! Google Classroom Question.
Take a stance. Write a thesis statement that reflects your position.
Choose TWO reasons from the resources that support your thesis statement.
Explain WHY each reason supports your thesis. You might even use direct evidence (quotes) in your response. You may also add your own anecdotal evidence, if you wish!
