Intro Clauses and IP Research

Honors: We reviewed introductory clauses and comma usage.  Here's a link to the slides. Then we emphasized the need to identify sources thoroughly and correctly in the previous Defend Your Position paper and the upcoming Influential Person paper.  We shared some info on who we are choosing as our influential people and then began researching. Tonight you should be compiling one page of notes on your IP for class tomorrow. Don't fill your notes with background on your IP. Instead identify the reasons why the IP is influential and then research those pieces of information. You need hard evidence in the form of quotes and data to offer convincing arguments.  

Standard: We reviewed introductory clauses and comma usage.  Here's a link to the slides.  Then we went through some of the power presentations.  Realize that there is a good reason why we do this, and it is not just to make good presentations.  As you discussed today, it helps build confidence, it shows the importance of doing things with passion, it will lead to a more successful presentation of yourself and a more successful life overall.  Who doesn't want that?

See you tomorrow.
