Block Day, 4/28&29 ~ Start your notecards

GRAMMAR
                                

 Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a sentence.

When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with ‘he’ or ‘she,’ use who. If you can replace it with ‘him’ or ‘her,’ use whom.

Here are two examples:

Who ate my sandwich? (Did he eat my sandwich? Did she eat my sandwich?)

Whom should I talk to about labeling food in the refrigerator? (Should I talk to him? Should I talk to her?)

• Who vs. Whom

DEBATE

Today we learn how to organize your notes into cards. See the examples below.

Lines Side
Organize your cards by THEME.

This one is all about MONEY.

Each number corresponds with its matching website on the reverse.


Blank Side

The numbered websites correspond the the numbered notes on the other side.






*It is important to keep track of your sources just in case your opponents ask you to prove the information isn't made up.




What kind of Evidence do I put on my card?

• Facts/Statistics
• Quotes
• Cause/Effect
• Anecdotes (short stories)
• Opinion (from experts or general)
• Hypothetical examples
• Comparisons 

In class, research with your partner. Make as many cards as you can. Do not repeat any information. Instead, split the THEMES between the two of you. Work together to form a well rounded argument with many angles.

HW: 5 cards/partner (at least 3 bullets on each card) are due on Monday. You definitely may want more cards before your debate, but this will be a good start.
