Hi from Jada
FOA 1.19.17
Respond to the following prompt, using at least four sentences. One of your
sentences should employ the grammar rule we learned in class yesterday
(nonessential clauses and words).
Prompt:
What is your personal opinion about how technology is advancing in the world? Do
you think it is cool or dangerous? Why or why not?
Purpose 1.20.17
Propaganda
Techniques:
Work on your projects:
Learn about your type of propaganda with your
group.
Debate Rules:
1. Respect all other classmates at all times with words and body language.
2. Do not talk without being called on by the teacher.
Doing so will result in loss of points from your team and/or disqualification.
3. Use your notes and evidence to guide you, not your emotions.
4. Be involved with your team, even if you are not the presenter.
Students other than the presenter may speak, but the presenter is the designated spokesperson.
First:
Finish debate prep from yesterday.
You should have five quotes.
You should have five explanations.
When you are finished with your quotes, move on to counterclaim and rebuttal.
Opening Remarks:
Introduce who you are (characters and whether you are affirmative or negative).
You can make up a backstory here. Think: what happened to you to make you such a concerned
parent about technology? Remember: you should be using facts from your passages during
the debate, not just emotional appeal.
