Update Dec. 10

Writing Portfolio
We considered some of the arguments students researched from the other side of the Constitution debate. We also began learning about concessions and refutations.

Core
Bellwrite: None

Students reviewed the memorization of Mosiah 4:17-20. We played an improve game to help us learn about the argumentation pattern of making concessions and refutations. In building an argument, it can strengthen your position to acknowledge the truth in an opposing viewpoint (make a concession), and then refute (argue against) it.

Students developed a study guide for the history unit on the Glorious Revolution. We will have a quiz-test (quest) tomorrow.

Homework:

• Study for history quest.
• Memorization due Thursday.
• Read Les Miserables through page 572.
• Write 3 sentences giving concessions and refutations to the other side of the question of whether or not the U.S. Constitution is exceptional.
