Rationale: Students are grouped in quads with two students who exceed or are at standard paired with two students who are

approaching or below standard in their ability to process and apply highlighting and annotating techniques when reading source material.

This set-up allows for the stronger students to scaffold those who need assistances (quads), or for those with similar skill sets to

challenge each other (pairs). In addition, personality, behavior, learning styles and visual/hearing

impairments were taken into account.

Aim: Why is it important to synthesize valid

reasoning and relevant evidence?

Do Now (5-7 min)

In complete sentences, explain how one might connect the following reasons and evidence to the claim.

(Students will be selected at random to respond)

Common Core Standards Addressed: Craft and StructureLW.11-12.1a: Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that logically sequences claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence.

LW.11-12.7: Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

School uniforms reduce bullying.

When students are dressed similarly, they feel more alike, creating commonalities among them.

According to The New York Times, “Teenagers who took part in a survey said dress codes acted as a social leveler.

This evidence demonstrates that when students wear uniforms they feel less out of place because they look like everyone else. By students having more commonalities among them, bullying is reduce because students identify with each other and none stand out from their peers.

Note: The “connection” section synthesizes the information from “valid reasoning” and “relevant evidence” and connects it back to

the claim.

School uniforms reduce bullying because they visually equalize the socioeconomic status of students. When students are dressed alike, they feel more alike, creating commonalities among them.

According to The New York Times, “Teenagers who took part in [a survey] said dress codes acted as a social leveler and reduced the risk of children being picked on for wearing ‘weird’ clothes.”

This evidence demonstrates that when students wear uniforms they feel less “weird,” or out of place because they look like everyone else. By students having more commonalities among them, bullying is reduce because students identify with each other and none stand out from their peers. They don’t have to worry about fashion or not fitting in because of what they are wearing; thus, they can focus on school work. Uniforms not only build commonalities among students and reduce bullying in schools, they also help students focus on what’s important – the school work – not worrying about what other kids think about how they are dressed.

PART 2 OF TODAY’S LESSON: REVIEWING AND DEVELOPING AN OUTLINE

Aim: Why is it important to review and develop an outline when writing a research paper?

Common Core Standards Addressed: Craft and StructureW.9- 10.5: Develop an strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.

A strong introduction:

REVIEW: INTRODUCTION (2- 3 min)VOCABULARY (3-4 mins)

Introduction: (n.) - a broad paragraph that explains the topic, discusses why it is important and states the writer’s position.

Position Statement: (n.) - the sentence that introduces the audience to the position in the argument.

Claim: (n.) - a statement asserted as a fact that is arguable, which is then supported with reasoning and evidence.

Reasoning: (n.) - reasonable and logical statements made to explain the claim(s).Evidence: (n.) - facts, data, statistics, expertise in the field, emotional appeal to support the claim(s).

Synthesis: (n.) - connecting the evidence to the reasoning.

Counterclaim: (n.) - a statement asserted as a fact which opposes the claim that the arguer must refute with reasoning and evidence.

Refute (Rebuttal): (v) - to prove that (something) is not true.

1. acknowledges the complexity of the topic.

2. tells the reader why this topic is important.

3. concludes with a position statement that acknowledges the counterargument.

Application #1:Sample Introduction: Debates about the use of school uniforms in public schools have received much attention in the last few years. Many educational contributors believe that uniforms may reduce negative behaviors associated with student dress such as teasing, absences, lateness, gang-related activity, and school violence; however, one primary argument supported by opponents is that uniforms interfere with students' right to choose their dress which is a violation of students' First Amendment right to free speech. This paper describes selected constitutional issues related to the use of school uniforms with a focus on the First Amendment and concludes with suggestions for uniform policies in public schools.

2. explains the claim.

Ex: Claim: Public Safety is more important than an individual’s right to choose.

Strong Evidence:

REVIEW: EVIDENCE (2-3 min)VOCABULARY (2-3 min)

Introduction: (n.) - a broad paragraph that explains the topic, discusses why it is important and states the writer’s position.

Position Statement: (n.) - the sentence that introduces the audience to the position in the argument.

Claim: (n.) - a statement asserted as a fact that is arguable, which is then supported with reasoning and evidence.

Reasoning: (n.) - reasonable and logical statements made to explain the claim(s).Evidence: (n.) - facts, data, statistics, expertise in the field, emotional appeal to support the claim(s).

Refute (Rebuttal): (v) - to prove that (something) is not true.

1. is relevant to not only the claim, but the reasoning as well.

2. factual, expert- based, or has emotional appeal.

3. cited correctly.

Ex:

Claim: When it comes to immunizations, public safety is more important than an individual’s right to choose.

Reasoning: Public safety matters more than an individual’s right to choose when it comes to immunizations because when the public safety is put at risk, the amount of people who could end up ill or dead from infectious diseases increases; whereas one individual who doesn’t get his or her choice would not be as impacting.

Evidence: According the John Revay from the Huffington Post, “individual choice is silenced at the will of the collective whole. If we consented each individuals wishes, dreams, and desires, the world would be complete chaos.”

Aim: Why is it important to review and develop an outline when writing a

research paper?OUTLINE (4- 5 min)

Outlines are important because they:

2. help in the organization of material for a research paper.

3. keep the writer on task.
