1. Read 
We're starting our Friday with 20 minutes of reading to get in the zone, Starbooks style. No journal prompt today!

2. Submit Your Opinion-Editorial

• You have had all week dedicated to writing your opinion editorial. 
• Your work should be typed and submitted to Google Classroom where I have an assignment called "Op-Ed: Fake News and Bias in Reporting" 
• ATTENTION: Part of your rubric says you must acknowledge a counterclaim. This is a way to say to your reader, "I understand there are other perspectives like ____, but you should still listen to me." 
• Here are some ways to write a counterclaim:

3. Finish TED Talk + Précis 

• Yesterday a few of you began to watch this TED Talk by Stephanie Busari. 
• You were also supposed to write a 4 sentence précis in your journal titled "Precis: How Fake News Does Real Harm" under today's journal entry. 
• I'm coming around to stamp your précis and give you a score for week 4 journal. 

Talk by Stephanie Busari you're watching today

4. Peergrade

• We're going to check out our classmates' work and score them on a rubric online. 
• You will anonymously view three classmates' work and score them according to a set of questions. 
• Take your time and give genuine feedback that could help. 
• Follow the link in Google Classroom to peergrade to get started but wait for my direct instruction.

5. Powerschool Check-Up

Check Powerschool and make up an assignment that you didn't do so well on. You can always request a regrade on any assignment that was done on paper or submitted online (just not verbal assignments like discussions).

Reminders: 
Have a great weekend. See you Monday!
