= SNOW DAY ARGUMENTS =

=MONDAY, Feb 9 resources for SNOW DAY argument reading and markup.= THis LOOKS like a lot, but read it and click on each link a step at a time. IT is just repeating what we did in the lab on Friday.

ALL must read this:
 * == The FIRST article (the document above titled "Snow Days Education Week") is required for ALL students to read and mark up to highlight PROs and CONs for snow days. ==
 * == AFTER you have highlighted it, then copy and paste your highlighted evidence into the blank chart I have formatted for you. ==

=BLANK FORM FOR YOU TO COPY for TAKING PRO/CON quotations and paraphrases =


 * =THIS document has the step-by-step directions for filling in the evidence pro/con chart. [[file:Directions for using note-taking chart.docx]]=

= THIS document is a sample of a complete pro/con notes chart I filled in based on the OTHER "NEWS Debate: Snowed OUT!" article we read last week. OPEN and read this sample if you have ANY question about how to paraphrase or put the point of each quotation into your own words =
 * == You do NOT have to fill in all 5 pro and 5 con boxes, but do a TOTAL of at least 6 boxes. (3 pro, 3 con OR 4 pro, 2 con etc.) ==
 * ** BE SURE TO SAVE the marked-up article AND the chart to YOUR drive as a document or you will lose your work! **
 * ==** DO NOT SEND IT TO ME!!!! We will print it out at school if needed. I need to set up student virtual binders to store the work in. We will work with it later in the week in a lab. **==
 * == AFTER you paste in the quotations, do the HARD job of putting each quote into your own words in the box below the quotations on the chart. ==
