I have a new hero. His name is Bat Kid. If you don't know who he is check this out.
He is one amazing kid and the thousands of volunteers are pretty cool, too. How does something like this happen? The power of social media. Let's talk a little bit about this tomorrow.
Of course, that's after we do the work we were going to do with our Costco material. We have a little clip to look at considering the Black Friday shopping day and then an article as well. We'll be using this information to apply the big nonfiction questions we've been talking about. I know most of you know them because you did so well on the Nonfiction Question Quiz. Plenty of 5s to go around. Well done. Now I want you to focus on the big four primary questions:
Who is the author?
What is the purpose of the article?
What is the evidence?
What are the sources?
The secondary questions on the bias and credibility of the author and the article are important as is the question on both sides being equally represented. They stem from those primary four. Eventually, you will be applying these questions to the material yourself, so be sure you know how to use them and what to look for.
You will receive your papers tomorrow. There were plenty of good ones. I have to say that Sam Catrell's writing was especially noteworthy for the depth and insight it offered. Well done, Sam!
Your nonfiction book title and your film title are also due tomorrow. It will be an easy five points for you if you come through. Don't make any hasty decisions. Be sure you have looked into it carefully. I want you to care about what you will be presenting so that you can deliver a passionate presentation. Don't let me down. Don't let your classmates down. Don't let yourself down.
See you soon.
