Today's assignment:

- Today's assignment must be submitted via email by the end of hour. It is to be done quietly and independently. No talking. There will be no in-class study time.

- Please begin working on the assignment as soon as class starts. You must submit your work via email before leaving class. No exceptions. Not submitting work will result in a zero. Your substitute teacher may not give you permission to not finish or submit your work, so do not ask. Work from yesterday's assignment was due at the end of the hour yesterday. You may not work on it or submit it today. If you were absent or did not submit your work, we will discuss when I return.

- Assignment: Write a 250-500 word persuasive essay describing and demonstrating
ethical behavior as it relates to an emerging eyesight technology – digital optical implants – basically computer-enhanced contact lenses. Discuss the consequences of responsible behavior/itresponsible behavior as it relates to this technology. Be sure that your essay offers reasons why this technology is emerging. Any researched information should be quoted or cited. Researched information is preferred, but not required. Quoted material may not exceed 25 words of the total word count. The essay must both support your position and refute arguments that would be made against your position. (If you are concerned you might not have time to finish, write the essay before doing research for supporting evidence. Then do the research and add supporting evidence.)

To make writing this essay easier, please use the following structure:

State your position.
State your first point in favor and support.
State your second point in favor and support.
State your third point in favor and support.
State anticipated opposing argument.
Conclude with why your position is best.

The purpose of your essay is to assist in ethical decision making as it relates to the emergence
of this new technology.

Your work will be shared with the class after my return and a prize will be awarded for the best essay in each class.

This assignment should take the full class period. If you finish early, go back and refine your work and do additional research to support your argument.

Wednesday, February 6, 2019

On today's class agenda:

*If you have a large number of class members gone due to the trip to the college and votech, please continue with the assignment and be sure to submit your work via email. Those absent may make up the work upon their return.*

- Study vocabulary on Quizlet for the first 10 minutes of class

- Work in your assigned teams to prepare your debate case on "Resolved: The United States should allow the reselling of digitally downloadd music." Each team must prepare at least three unique contentions (main points) that support their position. Each contention must be supported with a quote from at least one authoritative source. The source for each contention must be different.

- Choose one person on the team to write down the team's contentions and quotes in an email and send them to me by the end of the hour. This will be your team's case for presentation during the debate.

- Additionally, each individual on each team, must submit at least two unique questions they will ask the opposing side to undermine their case. Please send these directly to me from your individual emails by the end of the hour. No two people on the same team may submit the same question. Please check with everyone on your team before emailing me your questions. These may not be sent with the team's case and must be submitted separately via individual email.

- Once both of these things are done, begin practicing for the debate by presenting your case aloud. You may practice by presenting within your own team and antcipating the other side's case. Remain calm. :-) None of this is personal, only an academic exercise.

Tuesday, February 5, 2019

On today's class agenda:


- Complete and submit all four budget worksheets.
