 Today you will work on developing a Bibliography at the end of your research portfolio. MLA CITATIONS: I will walk around and assist students with the rules of MLA citations. Please also use any of the following resources to help you with this.

HW: finish your annotated bibliographyIf you didn't finish your annotated bibliography in class (most of you did not...), then work on completing this.
If you have already finished... you could start brainstorming your "Taking Action" to start thinking about what argument you want to make. Next class we will work on developing a claim statement -- what do you want to do with this research? What voice needs to be amplified? What story needs to be told on this issue?

Today you will continue researching your topic... You MAY have a one-on-one check-in with Mrs. Stewart about your research process, use of supporting research questions and documentation of notes You will also determine 3 "critical friends" in which you will receive feedback from them throughout this unit. You will meet with one of your critical friends in class today to get feedback about how you are organizing your research notes so far... Helpful Resources for Today:
 HW: keep working on research...Keep researching... work on Tasks 2-4. Be sure to use supporting questions to guide your research. Consider which of the case studies (examples) you may want to focus your attention on (see image). While more than one case study helps provide corroboration to show this issue exists across time (history) and space (geography) and helps to find patterns, you may find one case study of particular interest--and a perspective within one case study that seems to be a voice that has been marginalized, misrepresented or is altogether missing or powerless. If you do, it is perfectly fine to focus on one case study more than the others for your research.  Today you will continue researching your topic...

  HW: Keep Researching... work on your mid-level questions
 Today we will look at who the stakeholders are of an issue. We will identify the stakeholders and look at who has "a seat at the table" and who does not. We will revise our research questions based on today's activity. For starters... let's look at the issue of homework. How much homework should students have? Helpful links: Read one of these:  Fill out the Google Form indicating your final selected issue/topic, the lens(es) you will study this issue you through and 2 possible research questions you will use to drive your research. HW: Begin researching your low-level questionsBegin your research, starting with answering your low level questions first--this helps build the foundation of your understanding of the issue first before getting into analysis and evaluation of the issue and multiple perspectives on the issue.
Today you will be examining your selected #1 pick of an issue and exploring the various perspectives represented, misrepresented, marginalized or missing on the issue. You will also be considering different lenses in which to examine the issue from, and possible research questions you may want to delve into with this issue. Individual activity: Mind-mapping your issueYou will be mind-mapping (concept-mapping) this out individually in class today.
Exit Ticket: Post your mind-map to SeeSaw HW: Add your mind-map to SeeSaw & Your research PortfolioWe will start class today with analyzing your 2 articles you have selected for your issue of interest.  Helpful Links for Today's Class:
HW: decide & rank top 3 "Issues" for possible researchThink about which issues you are most concerned/interested in that you could possibly research, write about and do an advocacy project for in Unit 4. In the "presearch" document (in your WH Drop Folder), add your top 3 issues, consider which themes/concepts this issue connects with (beliefs/values, power, conflict, change, etc.), state why you are interested and provide at least 2 sources for each issue. 
HW: Pick an Issue that matters to you... find 2 articles on the issue -- each from a different perspective. Bring these to class.You can bring in digital copies/links-- just have them ready and be sure you've read through them to ensure they present information on your selected global issue from 2 different perspectives/view points. Sample Global Issue: Climate Change Possible perspectives: Perspective 1: Scientist's perspective Perspective 2: Oil industry's perspective Perspective 3: members of a pacific island community Perspective 4: politician Perspective 5: frequent flyer for business travel Perspective 6: child or teenager Another Sample Global issue: Community violence Possible perspectives: Perspective 1: gang member in prison Perspective 2: mother of victim murdered in their community Perspective 3: Police officer Perspective 4: psychologist Perspective 5: Mayor of city; local politician Perspective 6: business owner   What is a 'single story'?
