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
Money is the THEME that these arguments apply to.
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 THE/MES between the two of you. Work together to form a well rounded argument with many angles.
HW: 10 cards (at least 3 points each) are due on Block Day. You definitely may want more cards before your debate, but this will be a good start.
