Controversial Topic Unit Task

Your time in the lab is very valuable -- if you are off task today, you will not finish what is required & you will receive a zero for this portion of the assignment.  Please take the imitative & give me your best effort.

The following actions will also result in a zero:
  • Eating or drink (or eating AND drinking).
  • Using technology other than the computer, mouse, & keyboard provided in Lab 212.
  • Getting out of your seat excessively.
  • Bothering your neighbor.
  • Screaming, or practicing any behavior that your mother would discipline you for at home.
You are responsible for completing the following & printing the corresponding document before you leave the lab today:
  1. Decide on your controversial topic.  If your topic is not on the list that Ms. Livezey showed you yesterday, you must have it approved.  Use the Google Like a Boss tips to help you find information!
  2. Identify the two sides of your story.
  3. Find AT LEAST 1 audio source, 1 video source, & 1 print source -- you will document these sources in a Word document & create a 3 sentence summary for each source to remind yourself what the source is about.
  4. Create a Topic House for your controversy -- your main idea should convey the side that you favor & you must have at least 3 supporting details.
CLICK HERE to open the graphic organizer.  You will be responsible for filling it out entirely -- DON'T FORGET to do the Topic House on the back!  SAVE THE DOCUMENT & title it as YourlastnameYourfirstname.livezey.contro so that you can easily find it in the future to edit!
