7F and 7R: Keep reading your novel at least 30 minutes a night. Some of you still need to take an AR quiz. :)Your last persuasive writing that you have been researching and planning is due on Thursday. You must have at least 3 facts to support your arguments. Tonight, write up your introduction and first argument. Your peers will give you feedback.Be sure to bring all your materials to class. 8S: The good copy of your debate is due tomorrow(as noted on Mme. Squire's page daily). It should be typed and saved on a thumbdrive. It is to be in the standard five paragraph format with cited resources. We will view a debate and practice arguments in groups tomorrow. Thursday, we will view the rules of a rebuttal, watch some examples of rebuttals and decide on the rubric of debate . There will also be time in class to practice. Debates will be presented next week.
