Lesson Topic
Thesis, Argument, Concession and Rebuttal
Lesson Outline
The students read a well written blog post by a man who is against recycling. We dissected the article, finding thesis statement (not easy to find -- Devin was the only one who found it) and arguments. We then identified the concession statment and the rebuttal. We made up a pretend argument between a girl and her parents (who don't want her to go out with a horrible guy) to illustrate the concepts.

Lesson Comments
This was a hard lesson but they were all on board. Sadie wanted to learn and take notes. Ashley was zoning out but I kept dragging her back in and making her produce correct answers and praising her for them. Devin was slower and not as confident, be he had as good a grip as Sadie. Nice lesson. Wroked out really well.
