BW: View you-tube video.
Activities:
- Share Out: What is the purpose of the first sentence in the counterargument-rebuttal paragraph? What is the purpose of the second? The third?
- Independent Study: Students will remove their first “pro” and “con” body paragraphs written on Nov. 15th and Nov. 20th from their folders.
- Share Out: A volunteer will share his/her topic of “distractions” or “useful learning apps” as the counterclaim in the first sentence of the sentence frame worksheet. She or he can provide a reason for the second.
- Independent Study: Each student will determine the appropriate claim to oppose the counterclaim for the “However,” or third sentence of the sentence frame worksheet.
- Independent Study: Students will revise the “pro” or “con” paragraphs written on Nov. 15th or Nov. 20th to complete the sentence frame writing prompt.
