Communication Arts: 3/2 - 3/6

This week students are researching for and writing their argument paper. We are collaborating with Science for this task. Students have to take a side on the fracking debate and defend their position with claims and evidence. The students have a graphic organizer with daily checkpoints to guide them through this process as well as a claims evidence packet. There will be work time in class to write, research and ask questions each day this week. The half-time or rough draft of the argument paper is due at the end of class on Friday, 3/6.
