December 12: Classwork and Homework

In-Class:
  • Journal:
    Claim: “Schools should extend the length of the school day and shorten summer break.”
    1)      Determine whether you are going to argue for or against this claim.
    2)      Come up with 3 solid reasons why you agree or disagree with the claim from your own experience.  Feel free to use the text as supporting evidence! Example: Schools should not extend the length of the school day because they cannot participate in as many extracurricular sports or activities.
    3)      Put a star next to your most solid argument. 
  • We went around the room and shared our arguments, then put them in to a chart.  After, we chose an argument from the opposite point of view to refute in our journals.
  • We talked about effectively studying charts and writing about them.  Groups got back together and re-wrote the answers that were unclear on their group activity from last time.
  • Students worked on a vocabulary worksheet that we will finish next time.
Homework: NONE
