Warm-up ...
Get the handouts on top of the Chromebook cart - and go ahead a grab the Chromebook that corresponds to the number on your desk. If you have never used them before, handle them gently - they DO break - and you are financially responsible for it.
Today ...
- Finish the close reading and writer's craft questions for "In Praise of the 'F' Word."
- Using the Chromebooks, visit the website ProCon.org and begin reviewing possible topics for research. Your topic choice is due tomorrow 1/8 - we will discuss the expectations/requirements for topic submission in class tomorrow.
- The packet also shows a "Rhetorical Situation Paper" due tomorrow that is a quiz grade - we will REPLACE that with the quiz over the "Argumentation-Persuasion" packet tomorrow as well.
- If you have not logged on to the computers yet - you will need to create a Google account for your Chromebook login. We will submit every part of the research paper that is a major grade through Edmodo - so keep that in mind in the coming days.
- We will write the research proposal in class on Monday.
