Is Congress Broken? Debate Prep continued...

Bill to Law Review!

1. Card Sort:  Get with a partner, card sort it!  Check your work, make a note of where you went wrong (to study).  If you want to print your own cards to study, they're linked on the Docs page.
   
2. Kinetic Nonsense:  Each person is assigned a step in the bill process (involved steps get two people) from lecture notes yesterday.  Get ready to get ridiculous

Starter 20

1. First, vote for student council.  The link to do this should be in your email.
   
2. Now, answer:  What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned so far?  Does it support your initial opinion on the SAC question, or challenge it?

 
SAC Prep

1. Read and Annotate:  Read and annotate core text and at least one other text for your assigned position (they are linked on the Docs page of my DP).
   
2. Reading Questions and Summary:  Answer reading questions for core text.  On the same document, include your bullet-point summary of the main ideas for the second article you read.  These should be shared with Lori before the end of class.
   
3. Partner Up:  Get together with your partner (they will be written on the board)
   
4. Gather Evidence:  Gather evidence together for your SAC (mini-debate tomorrow).  You should try to pull together the strongest evidence you can for your side of the argument.  There’s an evidence gathering sheet on the Docs page of my DP you can use, or you can use your own format.
   
5. Challenge:  Figure out what some of the arguments for the other side will be, and develop counter-arguments for them.

 
HOMEWORK:

1. Study for Bill to Law Quiz TOMORROW.
   
2. Have all evidence gathered and organized for SAC tomorrow
