- Today the Affirmative Constructive was due, so we collected that, checked VFA #19-20, and Grammar, page 157.
- We started the period with a pop quiz. The students were asked to define: Harms, Significance, Inherency, Topicality, and Solvency. For extra credit, they could define, Tag and Plank.
- We reviewed the quiz as a class, then we got right to discussing the Negative Constructive.
- We looked through the Negative Constructive Outline. I pointed out the fact that their Negative will be base don their own Affirmative (point-for-point); however, any evidence that is good but does not match up with their Affirmative should be put on Source Cards. I also pointed out that as they work to attack their own Affirmative, they should fix their Affirmative.
- Students spent the rest of the period working on their Negative Constructive.
- Homework: Work on the First Negative Constructive, Freakonomics-Finish reading Chapters 1-3 and write 2 questions per chapter for the Socratic Seminar on Friday.
