Transition

--Please obtain your Chromebook from the cart in the back of the classroom.  Back at your desk, log in.

--Please take out the following:

• your "Working With Your Sources" halfsheet with which we have been working
• the sources that you printed out

Research -- Inquiry-Based Argumentative Research Paper
--"anchored in" to our "Compact for Work Time," ...

• continue actively/purposefully reading your sources as per the directions on the "Working With Your Sources" halfsheet.  Remember that ultimately, you are continuing to conduct research in order to develop a "focused knowledge" of your topic.  Think of it this way:
• Could you come up to the podium and talk intelligently about your topic for fifteen minutes without repeating yourself?
• If you do not have all of your sources printed out and would prefer to read on paper, please SEE ME for a pass to the library.
• all the while, work on narrowing your topic by zeroing in on the "right" inquiry question--perhaps a "Should..." question?--with the knowledge that the paper you will eventually write will be argumentative.  As such, you should be jotting down new questions/potential argumentative claims as they occur to you.
• COMPLETE THE "SOURCE ANNOTATION #1" ASSIGNMENT IN NOODLETOOLS AND SAVE YOUR WRITING PIECE BEFORE THE END OF THE CLASS BLOCK.  THIS IS A GRADED WRITING ASSIGNMENT FOR MARKING PERIOD 4.
