Social Science Analysis

Monday October 3, 2011 – Periods 1 & 3
Tuesday October 4, 2011 – Periods 4 & 6

  Today we finished signing up for student groups and assigned 2 video topics to each group. Due dates can be found on your sign-up sheets or you can find them under our class homework assignments on our classroom page.

We corrected our Principles of the Constitution worksheets. This will be the final set of notes to study for your class quiz this week.

   Finally we spent time on social science analysis. We learned the components used to measure the components of Frame and Research. We looked at sample summaries of our information from Dateline’s The Job that Jobs Forgot video and New York Times’ Some Democrats Are Balking at Obama’s Jobs Bill article. We learned about the use of in text citations and end of text citations to fulfill our Research components and helps to add credibility to our writing. Finally we spent 20 minutes writing a summary for The New Yorker’s Jobs and the GOP article.
