Today the group debates were held.
Homework:

2) Work on your Oral Presentations for the Research Project (to be presented 12/5 and 12/10).
3) Finish essay on two articles we read on GMOs. Due in class on 11/28.
Prompt: Evaluate the strength of the arguments posed by JoAnna Wendel and John Robbins in their respective articles. First, clearly state in your own words what they each argue. Then, go through each of their main points and analyze their weakness/strengths based on the way they unfold and the evidence provided. Finally, based on this analysis, conclude which author has a more convincing article (in terms of evidence, credibility, attention to audience, persuasiveness, language, etc.).
4) Prepare for the cumulative grammar quiz by reviewing all of our previous quizzes and the readings in our Grammar Guide. Quiz will be given next week. *This will be your last opportunity to improve your overall grammar quiz grade.
5) Bring in all materials to work on your Oral Presentation in class on Wednesday.
