Unit 4, Lesson 12: Argument Essay Research
Learning Target: I can use the theory of plate tectonics to explain the Earth's topographic diversity.
Class Activities:
1. Students came in and did the do now and part 1 of their worksheet.
2. We talked about what makes good evidence (from a reliable source, quotes, numbers, specific examples, etc). That is the kind of information they should be looking for to support their claim.
3. We took out the computers. Students went to this page and opened the budget data. We looked at how much the U.S. government was spending in 2016.
4. Students independently researched/looked for evidence on the computers. I recommend going to the word document below if you're having trouble finding evidence. It has links to a bunch of good sites, and it's a good place to get started.
Papers handed in today:

Homework:
Finish part 2 of research sheet (so you should come in with 1 reason to support your claim, and 2 pieces of evidence)
