- We finished watching the last 50 minutes of The Great Debaters
- During that time, the students signed up for their next outside reading book (the majority of the class will read Freakonomics), and they also signed up for their debate partner.
- I introduced Article Evaluation #3: Evidence Identification & Evaluation Assignment. The students will read one of the two articles and find five types of evidence. Then they will label and evaluate the effectiveness of the evidence.
- We read through the page 4 of the Introduction to Debate Packet, and the students started the process of taking notes on the terms & definitions.
- I passed out the MLA for Debate packet, and we ended the period with a (very, very) brief review of MLA format (to be continued next class).
- Before the students left, I introduced the MLA assignment. They are to create a works cited based on a list of sources that I have provided.
- The class ended 5 minutes early due to the sophomore tutorial assembly.
- Homework: Article Evaluation Strategy #3: Evidence Identification & Evaluation (choose one of the two articles), Practice MLA Works Cited, Decide on a partner and topic, Complete VFA #17-18.
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.
