• Completed
  • Review of Planning for 1st Discussion Board Posting
  • Working Time on Discussion Board on Teams
    • 1. Compare & Contrast the 2 Articles: [R.2.4] How does the author of Point use reasoning and evidence to develop the claim compared to the author of Counterpoint? Which claim was more valid and effective? Explain your evaluation and cite evidence from the text(s).
      2. • These can include print features-LOOK at the HEADINGS to each section of the articles
         • They can also include graphic features-LOOK at the illustrations, and graphs,
         • Text features can convey a text’s meaning and purpose by showing what information the author wants to highlight for readers.
         • Template idea to help you respond: In reading the (state Point or Counterpoint) author’s claim of (state what they want) by the use of (state what print feature) helping to reinforce the claim that (quote something from that section of the article). Additionally, they gave evidence in the (state the graphic feature & a title) to show that (give additional evidence from the text) to prove that (connect back to author’s purpose.Compare & Contrast how the 2 Author’s use the SAME Evidence: [R.2.4] How do the authors of Point and Counterpoint interpret the same information? Which author used the information more effectively? Explain your evaluation and cite evidence from the text(s).For our Discussion Board, think of it like a Digital Socratic Seminar:
           • I’ll post a Question (or Questions), you REPLY to 1 HERE & then create a “New Conversation” for the 2nd Question.
           • REPLY back to at least 2 Classmates as to if you AGREE or DISAGREE with their post & WHY using EVIDENCE from the passage. (cannot be their same evidence in the same way, but you could use the same evidence if you interpreted it in a DIFFERENT way).

           Please use the following strategy:

           For the 1st Prompt (REPLY HERE):

           1. [R.2.1] What text features are present in the Point and Counterpoint of “Life After High School”? Which passage’s text features were more effective at developing the author’s purpose? Explain your evaluation and cite evidence from the text(s).
