Hello!
Today in Language Arts the students finally got the opportunity to think about their own viewpoints for our argument: Are Athletes Overpaid? The students were divided into four teams based upon their thoughts on the subject. We discussed the important components of debate (argument, claim, support, counter argument, and rebuttal.) The students were given time to research and prepare their debates which will be taking place on Friday. I have added the Thinking Maps the students may use to this blog post.
This is a reminder that we will be going to the library tomorrow and playing a game that goes along with the vocabulary terms we selected for this unit.
Have a great night!

Sorry Ahmad,
