STANDARDS AND ALIGNMENT
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.

FIRST, A FEW RULES

  • You are to debate RESPECTFULLY.
  • This means that you will NOT interrupt or insult anyone.
  • You may, of course, disagree. Remember, however, that the point is not to be right - the point is to explore and push your own thinking.

SCORING

  • You have 5 tokens. Each time you make a substantive contribution to the discussion, you will give up a token.
  • Your participation grade will be 100% minus (the number of tokens times 20%).
  • For example, if you have 3 tokens left at the end of the discussion, your grade will be 100% - (3 * 20%) = 40%.
