3. BEFORE We Discuss Our Opinions… Let’s get organized! Find a partner that shares the same opinion that you do and create a bulleted list of REASONS/EVIDENCE that support your opinion. Types of reasons/evidence that your should consider: -personal anecdotes -comparison/contrast -real world examples you have heard about (from friends… in the media) -cause/effect Gear up for an informal debate… try to predict the counterarguments that may be made against your opinion AND prepare a rebuttal!

4. Let’s Share!

5. On Lined Paper If a professor were to assign an argumentative essay prompt to you in college on this topic (cyberbullying punishment in schools), how would you go about writing the essay?

9. I am unsure about whether or not I should give your class participation points for today’s class… 1. As a class, elect a leader (the leader will write on the white board and speak on your behalf) 2. Following the argument essay outline- create a quick outline that argues FOR the fact that I should give you participation points for today’s activities 3. If your argument is weak (and is missing a vital element) your wish for points may not come true  4. Work together! Raise your hands to speak/contribute (leader will call on you and control the group)
