Monday, December 9th

I am home sick today.  I will go over ALL of the below tomorrow. I will have the sub go over the initial assignment.  The assignment sheet (found below) is pretty straight-forward.

Things to do today:
1. Start on Serial presentation- Establish your thesis/CLAIM. Use the formula we learned last week.
2.  Start brainstorming evidence on both sides. Get as MUCH as possible.  Do this before filling out the outline.
3. Using the outline below, just sketch out an outline on your own paper. I'll have hard copies of outline and assignment sheet for you tomorrow.  Start with your claim and your 3 BROAD REASONS WHY- These will be large categories of reasons like- Witness testimony. Physical evidence. Alibis. Timelines.  Then you will move into your specific examples (grounds) further into the sections of your outline.
