Check classwork (your 4 lists of 10 from “Scarlet Ibis” guilty/not guilty)…begin…
§ There are lots of ways to win an argument. Write down 4 of them.
· 2 reminders:
o 1. PREFIX test on Friday. Remember that the prefixes will not be in alphabetical order on your test! § The best way to study is to fill in an empty 3-column chart, number the first column 1 – 11 and fill it in from memory…· If necessary, use your flashcards or pink sheet to fill in the rest.
o 2. Announce 2nd test on “The Scarlet Ibis” – also Friday – we will review specifics tomorrow in class

We all know how to argue. But how do you win
an argument?
o
Watch short video and be ready to discuss how
this argument is won.

Explain classroom assignment:
- Using your 4 lists from
yesterday, choose one set of your GUILTY arguments (parents or brother).
- You are to pretend that
all of these things have been said ABOUT YOU in front of a jury.
- Things are not looking
good for you. The jury seems convinced of your guilt.
- The judge has asked you if
you have anything to say in your own defense.
- In computer lab 140,
DEFEND YOURSELF…
- …by writing out a closing
argument (to be read at the close
of your trial) that refutes the key points against you. Make your case as
convincing as possible.
- GOAL: You are to take all
statements and turn them in your favor before the jury so that you
can convince them that you are correct and the other party is incorrect.
- Use this opportunity to point out
discrepancies in the other side's theory. Challenge the overall
position. Highlight inconsistencies to discredit anything the
other side tried to prove or defend.
- “Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury…”
- PRINT and TURN IN TODAY
