Good morning!

Here is the agenda for today:

1. Warm up (still not a part of TONE). Respond to the following prompt:

-What do you think of guns? Do you know people that own them? Do you think they are necessary? Should there be greater restrictions for the people that are allowed to buy guns? Share your feelings on this topic.

2. Editorial Reading: "The Gun Control Debate"

-You will work on this in partners of your choosing. 

-Read the article first... HIGHLIGHT unfamiliar words.CIRCLE repetitive words/phrases, and words that contribute to the TONE. UNDERLINE the evidence the author uses to support his argument.

-The graphic organizer comes in a pack of three (use only the top page for today and hold on to it for tomorrow/next week).

-Complete the graphic organizer. Where it says AUTHORS PURPOSE and it asks you to list text examples....DISREGARD THIS FOR TODAY. Instead, just write the MAIN IDEA of the article.

-Once you read the article and complete the organizer, turn to the backside of the organizer and explain to me whether you agree/disagree with the article and why. What do you think is the solution to gun control?



HW: Study for your quiz on TEXT FEATURES/STRUCTURE tomorrow!!
