McVideo Game

If one of you video-game-addicted teens can figure out how to win at this game, I'll put it on the Smart Board and give 30-45 minutes of class time to give each student a chance to play. I played it once, but didn't really get it, because I'm very old.
So see if you can play and win!

Five Facts from Chew on This

Here is the worksheet I passed out in class today. Collect five fact from the book -- in this case a fact is something the author is brining in, usually from a study or some other published source, to support the opinions he expresses throughout the book.

For the counter-arguement exercise, you are not trying to disprove the facts, you are simply using them to show how it might be possible to show a different or opposing opinion, even within the context of the same fact.
