Quick Recap:
We talked about the upcoming debate/presentation. It starts Friday, December 5. We have our volunteers from each class. We all need to be ready for Monday. Look on the blog for directions and hand-outs.
Our satire assignment is due Monday, December 8. Guidelines and the rubric are available on the blog.
We started talking about our author's craft essay today. We didn't get as far as I had hoped, and I am going to be at meetings for the next two days, so it will be Friday before we dive in headfirst. Can't wait.
Standard: After a bit of review with Acuity questions, we had the rest of the time to work on our presentations and debates. We have our volunteers and are looking forward to beginning the presentations on Friday, December 5.
A few debate/presentation tips for all students:
Do not read your presentation.
Do have quotes from the book you read to support your arguments.
Do have at least one counterclaim that you refute after sharing.
Do bring passion and strong presentation skills on the day of the event.
Do have notes to help you (just don't read them).
Do prepare. This is worth 50 points.
Until next time...
