  1. SSR time…get back into the groove College Prep 4-1-13

  2. Critical thinking • You get SSR AND critical thinking in one day?! Lucky….. • For your critical thinking, you have a couple choices….. • 20 min

  3. Choose one • Integrated Curriculum vs Traditional school • Should schools teach classes by subject matter OR should we teach projects that include all subjects • Cell phone use in school • Should students be allowed to use cell phones or should we ban them • Random locker searches • Should schools conduct random locker searches regularly

  4. Now lets debate a bit • I want to see who chose what and what side they were on… • You now have another choice, would you like to debate me or another student • I reserve the right to debate whenever I feel the need…ha ha • As you listen to the debate, evaluate the effectiveness of the arguments • Look for: • Claim, evidence, warrant • Counterargument

  5. Ill judge you for judging • First topic: • What arguments were raised? • Thesis for both sides • Evidence to support the thesis? • Was the evidence pertinent? (relevant…vocab #2) • Did each speaker anticipate and address a counterargument? • If not….how could we have addressed these issues? • Second topic: • See above • Third topic: • Ditto for sho dough

  6. Generating Criteria • YAY!!!!! We get to do some of my favorite stuff all over again • Lets generate criteria about what makes a good argument • Hope we remember how to do this • (You are going to be so rad at this by the end of the semester) • NOTE: This criteria list will become my evaluation tool by which your eventual papers will be graded (along with MOVIES). So you better make sure your voice is heard • But this should be an evolving document, so its not set in stone today

  7. Our Criteria for effective arguments • Here we go yall • Help a brother type this up Brie

  8. Our Unit • As I told you a few weeks back, we are now going to work on research papers • But these research papers are not like the ones you’ve done before (well…they are but the will be framed differently) • We are going to write argument research papers • EVENTUALLY, you will chose a controversial aspect of the topic you chose, research that issue, and construct an argument for or against a position

  9. This is important because… • 1) Everything is an argument!!!!!!!!!!!! But you know this • 2) You will do this type of research paper in your first year of college (at most universities). • 3) And, maybe most importantly, the skills needed to be successful in this endeavor will help you get what you want for the rest of your life • And we always want to get what we want (tautology….here’s your vocab word of the day)

  10. How we’re going to break this down • You should remember some of this because we have gone over it before • Throughout the unit you will: • Take a position on an issue • Develop a series of claims in support of the position • Supportclaimswith specific data or evidence • Include warrants to clarify the connection between the data and the claim • Anticipate counterarguments or counterevidence • Respond to or rebut counterarguments or counterevidence • RAFT the heck out of writing • Our old friends, ethos, pathos, and logos will make an appearance • Mind Trap…if you are lucky

  11. Vidjeas • Lookie here • This is college level stuff here ladies and gents

  12. Wanna see what this looks like in real life? • This is an actual conversation between teachers…debating the first topic
