Today students were given the word assertion for their vocabulary notebooks. We warmed up with identifying the parts of a claim, counterclaim, rebuttal, evidence and warrant of a piece that we wrote last class together. Students then wrote a claim, counterclaim and rebuttal to debate of which social media platform is better for teens. Next, students read with a partner the article, “Pros and Cons of Teens on Social Media”. After reading the article, the partners completed a discussion web of the negative and positive effects of social media on teens. Then students independently wrote a claim, counterclaim, rebuttal and warrant regarding the prompt.
Finally, students were given back their scripts and some groups had their props and were able to film their propaganda commercials.
