Today the main lesson is to interrogate a text to provide strong discussion question, and evaluate the quality of a text based question. Before we started to go over those lessons Mr. Rivers then assigned us homework to read chapters 0-1 in Ready Player One. For a few minutes he talked about how he likes the book but we don't have to, which I appreciated because I don't like it when a teacher loves a book and when we didn't, they would get into a fuss. Also a reminder to think about the groups, movies and book we have to choose for our podcast by November 9th. The first unifying idea for our podcasts is setting. We were given a goal for today which was a very long question which can be found on google classroom. In our groups, we split the question up into three part and figured out what section meant. For example my section was B which is, "Ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue." What we came up was to not be bias. Instead we need to show all sides of the arguments, while explaining we are telling someone something not trying to persuade them. After the individual group discussion we all came back together to dissect each section. Then we were given a movie clip, (see link below) in our groups we worked together to make questions in the 6 points, those being who, what, where, when, why, and how. We made rough drafts of our questions, then we posted out worst question and our strongest question and posted it on the classroom. Our bad question was, "Why is the earth so dirty?" and our better question "What does it show that the character is listening to this kind of music."
