- We started the period with a bit of grammar: Verb Tenses, pages 145-148 odd #'s only.
- Mr. Leal briefly discussed the CASHEE. The test will take place on Feb. 1 & 2 starting @8am.
- As soon as we finished grammar, we moved on to debate.
- We briefly reviewed the questions that students came up with for the Discussion Web assignment. Students came up with a few different questions about the article and the evidence for each question will differ, so in the interest of time, we moved on.
- I explained the Article Evaluation #2: Believing-Doubting Game Assignment. The students will need to identify the author's thesis then completely agree then completely disagree.
- We discussed Freakonomics briefly and we also discussed how partners and topic selection will work.
- Finally, we talked about things they learned from the first day of the great debaters and we addressed questions that they had.
- Then, we spent the rest of the period watching the movie The Great Debaters.
- Homework: Think about Partner & topic-DUE Monday February 7, decide on outside reading book (Freakonomics or otherwise), complete the Article Evaluation #2: Believing-Doubting Game
