CASTLE PROJECT IS DUE MONDAY, MARCH 6

                    "Chaotic First Month" (CON/not supportive)

- Read 2 op eds and color code PRO (one color)
- color code words or phrases or terms that are CON/against (a different color)
* to the best of your ability; think about how an author is trying to sway you
* you do not have to agree with either writer's positions, simply look at evidence they use to
   convince you of their position

- teacher model/think aloud how to determine positive or negative phrasing and words



II.  DAVID MACAULEY'S "CASTLE" video
