| In two of my classes, the opponents sat across from each other. |
Here are the links we used today:
Should the ant in the story get squished by the boy in
the story?
More than likely, your argument for
either position is going depend on knowing a few important details about ants
and their behaviors. Furthermore,
since this is a debate and you need to be prepared, you need to be aware of
what your opponent might say.
Goals for this week in the library:
1. Figure out what type of ant we
are dealing with. (Just do
Terminix to start.)
Find
details about that ant that support your position.
Find
details about the ant that your opponent might use against you.
Figure out other types of ants it COULD be.
Be aware of the
behaviors of other types of ants.
2. Determine the truthfulness of
the arguments the boy and the ant use.
3. Examine the motivations of the
boy and the ant for their behaviors.
4. Compile notes from trusted
sources.
5. List those sources to show that
you did not just make up these facts.
We
will make a bibliography. (www.easybib.com)
If you take
one note, write down the title of the article, author, and the site address!
Remember, for maximum points in
your debate, you must mention book, movie, and articles by title!
