Monday, 10/24:  Part 3 Work time!

10/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Starter #24- 5 minutes
What is the BEST argument you have encountered on the other side of this issue-- the side that you didn't initially agree with?

Discuss/Debrief- 5 minutes
With a partner, share your starter and then take turns trying to provide 2 more arguments for the opposing side for each other's issues.

Deadlines!
  • Parts 2 and 3 should be done for Wednesday at the beginning of class
  • Peer Critique will be ALL class period on Wednesday
  • Thursday, we'll begin brainstorming project ideas for Part 4
  • Next week, I'll conference with you all on Parts 2 and 3, give you feedback and allow you to make refinements before you submit your final drafts for grades.  Final drafts of Parts 1-4 are due the day of Exhibition, Nov. 10th.

Review Part 3 Requirements:
Look carefully at the con side. (750 Words Min., Third Person, 3 Sources Min.) 50 points
  • Thesis Generator:  Overall, where is the con side coming from?  What is driving this side of the argument?
    • In this section, be sure to present the best arguments for the con side, and analyze those arguments using some criteria, framework, or classification system.  For example, you might look at the moral and factual arguments separately; or, you might focus your analysis on the quality or character of the sources; or you might demonstrate how each part of the argument boils down to some foundational principle.  TAKE YOURSELF OUT OF THIS! Just report on the BEST arguments out there.
  • Min. Requirements: Proper in-text citation and use of quotes, use of 3rd person argumentative style of writing, works cited page, at least one reference to a moral philosophy you see connected to the arguments on this side.

Mini-lesson: Introducing and Formatting Quotes
Let's review the various ways to format a quote using this awesome resource from Purdue University's Writing Lab

Now, on the notecard provided to you, practice by picking a quote from your research and:
  • Introduce the quote with the author's full name and the title of the article
  • Write the quote
  • If appropriate, include the page # in parenthesis after the quote
  • For a challenge: Choose a BLOCK quote of 4+ more lines, or add/omit words from your quote

Work Time:
You all should be done with research today and be starting WRITING Part 3
