Start of class in family time: Get in your families, take out your journals from last night. Discuss the following: 1. Which was your favorite essay and why.
2. Share the essays you chose with your family members. Tell them why you chose it.
3. As a family, chose an essay to share with the class.
Also today in class: Discuss "Dentaphilia" & Chapter 3, "evaluating quality," and if time, Costal's Challenge #2
Your essay should meet the guidelines as stated by NPR here. Choose your words very carefully -- each speaks volume about what you believe.
Midterm Monday -- Study your close/active/academic reading notes and articles (Not SJ nor Dentaphilia).

1. Are opinions adequately supported? Choose one opinion and show how the author supports it.
2. Are facts verifiable? Give one example of a fact in the article of a verified fact.
3. Is material out dated? If so, provide an example.
4. Is the author credible? How do you know?
5. Are sources cited? If so, what are they?
6. Is the reasoning logical?
