We looked at the negative sides of video games today and analyzed the text for main idea and supporting details. We also identified the author’s claim in the article of the week. Tomorrow, we are going to prepare for a debate. They will answer questions that compare and contrasts the two texts and the do a strategy called Philosophical Chairs, which is a more structured type of debate. After the debate, they will make a final claim as to whether video games have a positive or negative impact on young people and provide evidence for their opinion.
