Objective:  I can identify the claim of each of today’s AOW by answering the question of each title.  I can determine topics or buckets for each AOW by asking questions about features, such as subtitles, tables, etc.  I can identify quotes for each bucket by asking the question posed by the bucket name.

Activities:

1.  Independent Study:  Answer question posed by the title of the first AOW.  Write the claim sentence in notebook.
2. Share Out:  What is the claim of the first AOW.
3. Independent:  Continue reading for the claim of each AOW.
4. Think Pair/Share:  Identify 3 buckets for the “pro” side and 3 buckets for the “con” side.  Identify one quote for one bucket.
5.  Share Out:  What is a category/quote offering?
6. HW:  Each student will complete both sides of the bucket organizer with 2 quotes for each of the 3 buckets of his/her position and 2 quotes for one bucket of the opposing claim.
7. Reminder:  Students who wish to rewrite the final draft from the beginning with the support of only their graded rough drafts and their bucket organizers may come after school on Wednesday from 2:20 to 3:30 pm.  Late bus passes will be provided.
