REMINDER:

Completed presentation practice sheets are due on Tuesday (3-3) for all groups.
Pre-presentation reflections will be written at that time
TUESDAY (3-3) is presentation day for TMPs. ALL slide presentations will be emailed to Mrs. Evans (no edits allowed thereafter) by Tuesday morning prior to class.
Post-presentation reflections will be completed after presentations.

Thursday (3-5) is an activity looking for common themes in the Stimulus materials we have already covered as we look to finish those materials and form our tentative thesis statements/questions.

EMAIL ME A COPY OF YOUR FINAL IRR ESSAY.  PDF is preferred.

Lesson for Tuesday, Feb. 11
You have completed your IRR (informative essays) for your group research question. You should have a printed copy for class today. Get in your groups, if you aren’t already seated together, and thoroughly read each of the 3 other IRRs from your group. Make editing comments, as you read, but your primary job today is to fully understand all 4 lenses for your research question.

When you have read all 4, groups should fill out the worksheet that will help you move from individual research to group thesis/solution (posted). Do not turn this in until Thursday.

Next, use the SPSE outline (posted) to begin developing their presentation. The SPSE outline is merely an example, but it is a decent model of how your group argumentative presentation might be organized. Each group needs an initial outline of what to include completed by the end of the period. We will work on the actual slides/presentation next class, after reviewing previous student presentations.

Today is Rough Draft day for your IRR! Your goal is to get feedback on your neutrality, the variety of sources, the synthesis (are the experts in conversation, or merely sectioned off as subtopics?), and the organizational flow.
After peer feedback you will create a reverse-outline from your draft to double check that you have not missed any crucial pieces of information in your own line of reasoning as you explain this topic through your chosen lens.

It is also FOOD DAY. :)
