You will use evidence from the different texts

that we read last week to prove your team’s point.

The text you should be using is your textbook, the Christopher Columbus article and the Columbus Controversies article.

Use the SAC handout to guide your learning. Share the packets among your team and write your answers in your notebooks.

Work with your team to organize your thoughts and prepare to debate tomorrow.

Objective

On one side you will be writing your argument

and using three pieces of evidence to support. On the other side you will write the other tea

m ’s arguments during the debate.

Directions

people that will speak and do the arguing. 1. Opening argument // 2. Evidence # 1 // 3. Evidence
