Your homework for the next few nights is to study a topic from multiple perspectives in order to be prepared to argue one particular viewpoint.
To see the question, you will need to be able to log in to Study Sync. Do that here: Study Sync log in
Your username is NVUSD + 6 digit student ID and password is your "locker" number. See me if you need those.
When you log on, click on the button that says "BLASTS" on the banner at the top of the page.
It should say that you have one assigned blast to work on. The blast I have assigned you for the week is a "Listen Edition" blast, which means that you need to be able to listen to the NPR story linked on that page. Also, scroll down and you will see the links for your research. Click on each one and take notes on the Conversational Roundtable Handout that I will give you in class. Be sure to clearly mark the sources in each square.
If you would like to participate in the "blast," you may do so at anytime, provided that you are prepared to contribute in a meaningful and serious way. (the blast is only 140 characters, so the challenge is to condense your most salient points in that small space--it is really an exercise in being concise!)
On Friday, we will try to do our first "FOUR SQUARE" debate. I expect you to come to class ready to argue any point of view, for I may assign you a stance to take, for the sake of a good argument.
