Get credit for two pages of notes for your debate topic.
Bridgette's class - these two pages of notes are due tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17.
THEMES is an acronym for the SIX areas you can use to look for arguments. By knowing these six areas, you will make sure that you have thoroughly searched for all the possible angles of an issue. Please record this acronym and it's hint questions in your Debate Notes.
Time Does it save people time?
Health Does it allow people to be physically, mentally or socially healthier?
Education Does it enable people to become better educated?
Money Does it save people money?
Environment Does it help the Earth's environment?
Safety Does it keep people safer?
Use the THEMES Worksheet to analyze the article for each "angle" or topic.
Independent Practice: Choose an article of your choice from Upfront Magazine. Copy and paste the link below for a list of similarly structured articles. Analyze this article as modeled in class by filling out the second half of the THEMES Worksheet.
HW: Complete ALL of the THEMES Worksheet including the article you analyzed independently.
