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.
