For this unit students will be selecting a topic, researching it, and trying to persuade the audience regarding the topic. Students will need to complete research using reliable resources, compile factual evidence, cite sources, and overcome objections. AVOID personal web pages, wikis, and Wikepedia. Also AVOID just expressing their personal opinion. This is a formal, academic project where students use evidence from research to support their claim / thesis.
Topics need to be pre-selected and approved by me and be school appropriate. Students must maintain a RESPECTFUL tone. Since this is a RESEARCH unit, an emphasis will be placed on FACTUAL EVIDENCE, research, statistics, etc.
