4/4 Argument Writing

Reminders
  • Whenever you need help, please ask for it.
  • Please write your homework in your assignment book.
  • Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).



Today in class you will
  • analyze arguments about video games and violence.
Why?
  • To develop your argument writing skills


DIRECTIONS
If you are ever waiting for a direction, please use PlaceSpotting or Google A Day. (Don't search for the question or use a Google A Day answer site.)
1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).       1 minute
2. By yourself: Go to Google Classroom, and play one round of Quizziz, then continue with the directions below.         10 minutes

3. A & D   PERIOD  By yourself: Brainstorm two lists in your scrap paper document:  What do you know about violent video games? What do you know about youth violence? (This type of information would go in an introduction to introduce the topic.)         2 minutes

4. A & D   PERIOD  Just like yesterday, organize the reasons and evidence that go along with the claim in the drawing at this link.        5 minutes

5.  A & D   PERIOD  Whole class discussion - review of sort #2.          10 minutes
While you are waiting, go to Google Classroom, look at water projects from Natick, and respond to Natick Flipgrid --> indicate why you agree or thoughts their responses made you think.

6.  By yourself: Go to Google Classroom, and work with the argument writing strip provided. Refer to the organizer on the back board, too.         25 minutes for A & D periods; 40 minutes for B period

7.   B   PERIOD   By yourself: Complete a Frayer graphic organizer for the three vocabulary terms from your list in Google Classroom that are most difficult for you.  Use a separate template linked here for each term.         25 minutes

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"
Ask them.......
  • What are the key parts to argument writing?
  • Which side of the argument did you choose? Why?
  • What is some of the vocabulary you were exposed to?
