On today's class agenda:
*If you have a large number of class members gone due to the trip to the college and votech, please continue with the assignment and be sure to submit your work via email. Those absent may make up the work upon their return.*
- Study vocabulary on Quizlet for the first 10 minutes of class
- Work in your assigned teams to prepare your debate case on "Resolved: The United States should allow the reselling of digitally downloadd music." Each team must prepare at least three unique contentions (main points) that support their position. Each contention must be supported with a quote from at least one authoritative source. The source for each contention must be different.
- Choose one person on the team to write down the team's contentions and quotes in an email and send them to me by the end of the hour. This will be your team's case for presentation during the debate.
- Additionally, each individual on each team, must submit at least two unique questions they will ask the opposing side to undermine their case. Please send these directly to me from your individual emails by the end of the hour. No two people on the same team may submit the same question. Please check with everyone on your team before emailing me your questions. These may not be sent with the team's case and must be submitted separately via individual email.
- Once both of these things are done, begin practicing for the debate by presenting your case aloud. You may practice by presenting within your own team and antcipating the other side's case. Remain calm. :-) None of this is personal, only an academic exercise.
