For Wednesday students are making their dialogues "researchable." This means that each side in the dialogue should have two 'ideas' supported by research, and students should refer to that research in their dialogues (use footnotes, and practice MLA citations in the footnotes).
Today in class, students evaluated the arguments in the dialogues, determined whether both sides had equal evidence, and decided whether or not there was a legible debate with obvious 'ideas' at stake. They also gave each other suggestions for further research.
Students who didn't have their dialogues drafted two columns in their notes, where they wrote down the points that supported the two sides of their debate.
