Reminder: Your assessments are due TODAY! No exceptions!! Today we finished up our Banned Books Week stuff by having a debate. The class was split into two groups - one group played the "angry" parents and community members seeking to get Catcher in the Rye removed from our district, and the other side represented those in support of the novel remaining in schools. You had class time to develop your arguments (something we will doing quite a bit of in our next unit...) and argue them in a structured, timed debate format. All classes did relatively well in this debate and many of you brought up some very convincing points for both sides. There is no homework tonight; please bring in your WebQuests from last week and turn those in on Tuesday.
