    Assignments:

    New lessons for the week will be posted shortly.

     

    Consider the following scenario: 

    1. Imagine that our school is thinking about starting a new policy—mandatory Saturday school for everyone. That means that all students would go to school Monday through Saturday; Sunday would be our only day off from school. The school board wants to hear from students about their opinions on the proposed policy. When you share your opinion with the board, you want to make sure that you have sources and evidence to support it. 
    2. What kinds of sources could we use to help us answer the question of whether there should be mandatory Saturday school? 

    Please log into Edmodo and post your response to this prompt.

    Assignments:

    Last week we focused on the question, "Who's behind the information?". ‌ Evidence abounds online, from interactive infographics to hyperlinks in news stories to live polling data. The quality of this evidence varies tremendously. In order to effectively evaluate claims and find trustworthy information on which to base our decisions, we must be able to analyze evidence. ‌ This week, we will focus on the question, "What's behind the evidence?". We will use our Saturday School example from last week. ‌ Brainstorm: If we want to include more data or evidence in our presentation to the school board, what are different kinds of evidence we could use?

     

    Please log into Edmodo to answer the prompt and view our assignment for the week.
