Instead of a bellwrite, students took a quiz on the puritans and the first pages of The Crucible. We read and discussed The Crucible through page 31.

We learned 4 new rhetorical terms (see Edline for PowerPoint).
I modeled the writing process for developing a refutation of a counterargument. We reasoned about the kinds of evidence that would be useful for supporting the refutation, and noted where research would be needful.
Homework: Fully flesh-out one of the three refutations for your essay. Conduct necessary research and supply evidence to support your argument.
By now you should have the following:
1) three counterarguments, stated in such a way that someone who believes them would feel their position has been fairly represented
2) for each counterargument, a concession ("It may be true that....")
3) following each concession, a refutation
4) one fully developed refutation with researched evidence
