February 27 - March 3

Welcome!  Hopefully registration for senior year went smoothly last week.  I'm looking forward to a lively week of debate (and an essay) and the end of the gender unit.

MONDAY: Check in at the classroom for attendance, and to turn in the Gender Debate Prep Worksheet and journals.  Find out where to go for presentation and individual registration for senior year at PVHS.

Due: Gender Debate Prep Worksheet

Completed journals for a journal check.

WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up.  Draw cards to find out which side you'll be with.  Structured gender debate: should women be required to sign up for Selective Service (the draft) the same way that men do at age eighteen?

Due: n/a

Homework: Think about the debate and discussion, and prepare to write about it on Thursday.  How did you do?  What were the best examples and evidence supporting each side? Did you hear any logical fallacies during the debate? Do you personally agree, disagree, or agree/disagree with qualifications?

FRIDAY:  Journal warm-up.  Go through steps in an argument essay.  Write in-class argument essay using the same prompt.

Due: n/a

Homework: Read over the Supreme Court Case Summaries sheet before Tuesday, March 7. Enjoy a little break!
