Lesson Topic
Division and Classification Paper and Vocabulary
Lesson Outline
Vlad was not fully prepared. He did not have a completed outline for his paper on the "classification" mafia. So, we went step by step. Instead of trying to tackle various mafia groups (Italian mafia, American mafia, Japanese mafia, Russian mafia), we said tackling too much is counterproductive. Decide: focus on Russian mafia. Doing research on the Web led to several lessons: some sources on the Web are no authorities; paper needs structure; research takes time; Vlad needs to start gathering quotes from reliable sources; quotes and graphs need to be organized so they create an argument; Vlad needs to design a draft of his introductory paragraph and start a list of concluding statements; Vlad needs to always use "The Sandwich" to cite the source of a quote, set up the block quote, and do a full job of exploring and analyzing the block quote. Ended with vocabulary unit 11.
