SSR time…get back into the
groove College Prep
4-1-13
Critical thinking You get SSR AND critical thinking in one
day?! Lucky…..
For your critical thinking, you have a couple choices…..
20 min
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
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
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
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
Our Criteria for effective arguments Here we go yall
Help a brother type this up Brie
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
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)
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 Support claims with 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
