- Today we worked in the English Computer Lab.
- The main focus of today's class was The First Affirmative Constructive
- We reviewed the terms: Harms, Significance, Inherency, Topicality, and Solvency. We then reviewed, in detail, the requirements of the First Affirmative Constructive. We looked at the constructive outline and the student samples of the constructive.
- The students had the majority of the period to work with their partner.
- We collected the Article Evaluation Packet and I passed out the Socratic Seminar packet for those students reading Freakonomics.
- Notes from today:
- When you are researching, if you find evidence that is valuable for the negative side take note of it now.
- Keep in mind the time constraints of the debate. You will not be able to include ALL of the quality evidence in your constructive. Any good information that does not go into the constructive, must be put on to source cards. You will need to turn in 10 source cards with each constructive.
- Homework: Grammar-Active & Passive Voice, page 155-156 odd #'s only, Work on the Affirmative Constructive; Meet in the Library Computer Lab; Read pages 3, 5-6 of the Socratic Seminar if you are reading Freakonomics. Attend tutorial on Thursday for the Socratic Seminar Intro.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
