1. Create a document in your personal folder and title it Section 6: Analyze Sample Writing - [your last name, your district].
   (Example: Section 6: Analyze Sample Writing - Cornue, MO BOCES) 

2. In the document you created, reflect on the following: 

   • What are your thoughts on the way that the argument with a counterargument structure is introduced to the students? Do you like it as it stands, or would you make changes? 

   • Would your students embrace the challenge in the initial slides to "Think of a time when you..."? If not, could you first do one on the fly with the class as a whole? Could they work on it in pairs?  How might you draw them in? (Consider how important it is for them to connect the model to "real life.")

   • How would you ensure that students had accurate definitions of the parts of the writing?

Remember:  Answer some of the questions or all of them. Add thoughts of your own.
                      Think of these tasks as a running professional journal.
