Christoforo Columbo - Hero or Villain

 
Today we did something a little different - formulated arguments on whether the students think Columbus is an important/great figure in history or the opposite.

 
  • Video clips to gather some info for either side
  • A reading which presents both sides of the argument
  • Explanation from Mr. M about writing an argument/opinion - must have solid, supporting statements.
  • Time to write their opinion

 
Using the soap box - students stood to deliver their opinion and Mr. M acted as rebuttal for each side.
