Monday 5/1 ~ What actually happens in a debate?

*Open
  • Suffixes
    • et, ette - small one, group
    • fic - making, causing
  • Go to Bedford Punctuation: The Ellipsis (39: Other Punctuation)
    • Copy down the two rules and the tip.
    • Give two example sentences
*Debate
  • Go over Debate Format.
  • Get credit for HW charts filled out. Which are your strongest three THEMES? 
  • Now use THEMES to prepare your cards! 

Lines Side
Organize your cards by THEME.

This one is all about MONEY.

Each number corresponds with its matching website on the reverse.



Blank Side

The numbered websites correspond the the numbered notes on the other side.




*It is important to keep track of your sources just in case your opponents ask you to prove the information isn't made up.

What kind of Evidence do I put on my card?
  • Facts/Statistics
  • Quotes
  • Cause/Effect
  • Anecdotes (short stories)
  • Opinion (from experts or general)
  • Hypothetical examples
  • Comparisons 

In class, research with your partner. Make as many cards as you can. Do not repeat any information. Instead, split the THEMES between the two of you. Work together to form a well rounded argument with many angles and as much evidence as possible.

HW: 5 cards per person (at least 3 points each) are due on Block Day. You definitely want more cards before your debate, but this will be a good start.
*Don't forget to get your AWC on turnitin.com.
*Bring your day planner so that we can arrange your debate due dates.
*Keep reading your novel!
