We are currently working on a writing assignment (argument) based on the article and video we watched in class. Click on the link for the topic choices. It will be done on Ilearn and due on Monday at midnight.
Today student’s watched a video entitled the SCENE OF THE CRIME. They took notes on how it is similar to crime scene investigation on TV shows and movies and how it was different than TV shows or movies. We will use these, as well as information from the article on Tuesday to begin a writing assignment Thursday and continue on Friday.
Today we read this article and students did a pro/con t chart related to it. We will use this to do a writing assignment this week.
