Assessing What We Already Know
Group Practice
Let's get intellectually oriented by working through the process of writing an argument using the topic of binge-watching.
First, we will unpack the task of arguing as we view and discuss the slide show below.
Next, we will use the ARGUMENT WRITING RESEARCH TEMPLATE linked below to record claims and evidence to support our own stance on the benefits of binge-watching. For this purpose we will use the article "Binge-Watching - Top 3 Pros and Cons," which is embedded below. NOTE: I will share this template with you through Google Classroom, and I will have paper copies for those who wish to use them.

Click on the link below to access the "Binge-Watching" article on ProCon.org. Remember, you will need to access the original source for evidence, which you will find in the footnotes. From there copy and paste the source in your address bar, and read the source for evidence that supports the claim. If you need a hard copy of the article or source let your teacher know.
