- We collected several assignments today: Practice Works Cited; All THREE Article Evaluations; and The Great Debaters Notes. We also checked VFA #17-8
- We started the period by finishing the Debate Introduction, pages 3-7. This included reviewing several terms: Team Debate, Affirmative, Negative, Status Quo, Resolution, Tag, and Evidence.
- I then passed out the New Debate Calendar and the Constructive Packet, and we reviewed the first page of the Constructive Packet, which contains the script for the live debate and the definitions of the FIVE topics that the Affirmative must win: Harms, Significance, Inherency, Topicality, Solvency.
- We then moved on to Resolution & Position Statements. We reviewed the definitions and samples on pages 2-3 in the Constructive Packet. Then the students had time to meet with other groups to decide on a topic.
- We spent the last 10 minutes of class finishing the MLA Power Point Presentation.
- We will meet in the library next time to begin research.
- Homework: Work on the Resolution & Position Statements (DUE @ the end of the period on Wednesday), Take your grammar workbook and complete pages 149-150 odd #'s only.
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.
