Conferring and Paragraph Mapping...




Happy Camel Day Y'all,

      Some kind of thesis is due on Friday of this week.  I keep beating this thing called "THESIS" into your noggins, but I promise you it will never go away.  A thesis is the anchor of your papers.  You should all probably know by now that it comes at the end of your introductory paragraph.  If you haven't thought of one or need help, ASK!!!

      Today in class I will be pulling strategy groups with the debators.  I will also be conferring with students who need to meet with me.  In CORE 1 I have a confernece set up with Luke, Max, and Jacob.  In CORE 2 I want to meet with Maya, Andrew, Beth, and Colin.  In CORE 3 I want to meet with Savannah, Antonio, and Dustin.  This is my conference schedule today and I am open for more. 

      To wrap up, there are two modules we have been working on recently:  PERFECT PARAGRAPH, PARAPHRASING, and PARAGRAPH MAPPING & QUALITY CIRCLES and COLLABORATIVE STUDY.  If you haven't finished those... YOU NEED TO!  One more thing: we will be using some form of British Parlimentary Debate style for our debates next Friday.  To start our class, please fill out one quick sheet of Cornell Notes based on the video below. 

BP Debate Style
