Can I fairly represent both sides of an issue?
Objective: Students will use summary, paraphrase, and quotation (with appropriate citations) to fairly represent others' positions.
1. Starter: Vocab list #7.
2. We discussed how important it is to be able to represent others' ideas fairly.
3. We reviewed three different ways to represent others' ideas: summary, paraphrase, and quotation.
4. We each chose one of three sets of pro/con article pairs to read and annotate: "Should the US scrap the recycling program?" "Should e-cigs be regulated just like cigarettes?" or "Is it time to label GMO foods?"
5. We individually read our chosen pair of articles, annotating in the following ways: a) star two important quotations from each article; b) clarify ideas by paraphrasing at least two parts of each article in your own words; c) summarize in a few words the main values and concerns for the author of each article.
6. We each discussed our articles with a partner, comparing our understanding of each side's position.
7. We reviewed how to provide parenthetical citations for others' ideas.
8. With our partner, we wrote two short paragraphs outlining the position on each side of the issue as fairly as we could. (Here are instructions and examples of how to write your paragraphs.)
For next time: No homework.
