It's been quite a hodgepodge of a day, so this will be a blog of brevity.
1 & 3: You had the remainder of the hour to complete your Educator/Employee of the Year argument. Since I did not have a chance to meet with all of you directly, you were assigned to share your argument with me by the end of the day so that you can have feedback and credit for your work. We'll be looking at counterclaims and rebuttals tomorrow.
5: We had a holiday theme to our team claim, warrant, counterclaim, and rebuttal (which sure featured alliteration). As noted, the counterclaim is a second position on the topic that is just as relevant and has supporting evidence. The rebuttal references the counterclaim and then returns to the original claim to validate why this original position is just that much better. At the end of the hour, you read a third, yes, third perspective of Lucy: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/aug/07/biography.features, which we will have a brief chat about tomorrow and that you may use when you write your upcoming argument on the "real Lucy Grealy." Our class will be dedicated to setting up the argument, which you will (mostly) be completing in class.
