Monday, February 23

Target: to build an effective argument collaboratively by finding and discussing important details as evidence for both sides.


1. MAKE UP DWAS: Who's on?

2. Fallacy warm-up (5 min)  Survey: Race and Social Justice: Help out Natalie and Tiffany

3. (20 minutes) In groups of 4, share and discuss the details (evidence) that you collected from all sources in the synthesis prompt.  Spend quite a bit of time considering how you should deal with the counterguments and most compelling pieces of evidence on the other side. 

4. (10 minutes-individually)  On the back of the chart, write one concession paragraph with a rebuttal for this argument.  Remember the key transitional words:

It is true.....however.....therefore
Of course....on the other hand....as a result
Granted....but.......thus........

5. (5 min) REVISE: Read out loud to yourself. Fix any errors and be sure Add one piece of evidence from the texts (or the film) to support your rebuttal (if you haven't already).  

6.  (10 min) Read it out loud to your group.  Listen and offer constructive feedback.  Make sure the logic is clear and makes sense.  Suggest ways to fix any holes in the logic, or offer any evidence that might work better for them.
