Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - 03/03/15

AGENDA
Objective:  Students will listen to directions on how to fill in their outlines for the body section of their papers and then they will use their notes to complete this task.  After that, students will work in small groups on the "folding in quotes" technique before trying it on their own.

1.) Finish up practice presentations
2.) Turn and Talk about subtopics
3.) Let's go over how to fill in an outline (see quick notes below)
4.) Get cracking!
5.) Folding in quotes - you need three of these papers, one for each of the quotes you need to use (please see below for a picture of a sample page)
6.) Agenda Books

HOMEWORK
1.)  Finish outline (II-IV ONLY)
2.)  Your three folded in quotes need to be completed
2.)  Second practice presentations on Monday, 3/9 (see below for more details)

BODY PARAGRAPH OUTLINE REMINDERS
1.) Use your notes and add specific information from them to the appropriate subtopic
2.) These should consist of mostly of bullets (Remember, you want skeletal information!  Save the detail and the juicy stuff for when you write your paper!)
3.) Everyone must have ONE (1) direct quote per subtopic (please copy this down with the correct citation.  Questions about citations?!?  Use this website!

SECOND PRACTICE PRESENTATION INFORMATION
Please bring a recording device (your phone or iPod or something like a gopro).  I will be recording you so that you can watch yourself present in order to help you in the future.

Choose a place, real or fictional, that you think is a perfect place that all people should visit.  You need to give the audience your best "sales pitch" as to why that is the ideal place.  This pitch must last at least 45 seconds, no more than 1 minute.  You also must be prepared to answer 1 question about your pitch that a classmate will ask you.

FOLDED IN QUOTE EXAMPLE:
The picture below is a sample folded in quote.  The words written in purple is the work of Reina, Sam and Patrick from period three (yay!!!).  They did an excellent job!  The words written in pencil are the notes that we took and talked about in class on how to use this graphic organizer.
