Controversial Issue
Guidelines:
Your task is to research a controversial issue found in the ABC-CLIO Issues database . Once you choose a controversial issue, you will locate two articles – one for the issue and one against it – and ta​ke a stance based on the information you read. Using a graphic organizer, you will take notes on the articles and formulate a thesis / position statement on the issue. Instead of writing a paper, you will organize your arguments and points into a Microsoft Word outline. Finally, you will add citations to your outline and create a Works Cited page.

Organizing Your Research
What you need to KNOW: Research is a process - if you are having trouble coming up with reasonable arguments for your controversial issue, ask yourself the following: Have I chosen the best arguments? Can I or should I choose a different argument? Do I really understand all the controversy surrounding the issue? What you need to UNDERSTAND: You are at the midpoint of the research process (Big 6 steps 3 and 4...go back and take a look), so if you cannot argue your side of the issue and/or can't find the information you need from the database articles, you AND your partner need to come up with a plan before you change your topic. What you need to DO: Complete your note-taking sheets and save them to the student share folder on the network. Send me a message through the discussion feature indicating any trouble you are having. REMEMBER - you have a partner! It is your responsibility to work as a team, so if one person is struggling with their side of the issue, help them out. Also - save your KWL chart to the student share folder.

I like how such a modern book can be based in the past, plus learning so much about this is very cool.

Lord ot the Flies
The title is not what I would have expected from the book, it sounds great and very interesting. Under the extremes it will be cool to see what happens to the characters.
