This was the homework:
Write the introduction to your "food/health" essay. Post in CANVAS. (25 points)
In addition, you started your research and summarized your progress.
Class Work
1. Share your introduction - groups of five. (A paper copy will work best. If you can print from here, do so. If not, go to the computer commons and print now. We will gather back here in 7 minutes.)
2. Gather in one of the four corners of the room or in the "study" wing.
3. Read your introduction to the group.
4. As a member of the group, listen. Discuss the strengths of each introduction. Also, offer a suggestion if the essay did NOT capture your attention. Remember that the goals of this introduction were to capture the attention of the audience and to introduce the topic.
**************************************************************************
1. How is your research progressing? 8:30 am group - here is an additional place for finding excellent information - your own school library is on-line 24/7. Take a look! (See handout)
2. Now that you have something to prove - a thesis - you need to prove that it is true!
3. Consider this - (Take notes on claims, reasons, and evidence.)
4. For homework, create your own chart. Provide three reasons for your claim. The evidence comes from your research. If you have no evidence for a reason, that is the jumping off point for further research! Bring a paper copy of the chart to class on Tuesday. (25 points)
5. After you have strong evidence, it will be time to state some results. Start thinking of this segment as a second claim. (If the reader believes you, what do you want the reader to do?) Conduct additional research where you look for solutions.) Post three possible solutions in CANVAS and cite your sources. (Use two or three different sources.) (15 points)
6. You may use the rest of the time to conduct research and to work on your chart.
