For extra credit, you have an opportunity to practice analyzing argumentation. As much as you may not care about politics, the outcomes of the democratic practice of self-determination directly affect you. Political debates are a time-tested opportunity for the participants to showcase their rhetorical, linguistic, and dramatic skills. And we get to decide whom to trust with our representative governance. As such, you can watch the debates and write about one candidate's position and his/her ability to effectively deliver and defend the argument. Be sure to watch till the end to monitor consistency and "acting" style. - 1 paragraph.
How to watch:
The Old-Fashioned Way: Fox Business will carry the debates live. Several cable providers are making the network available during the debates to subscribers who do not normally get it.
On the Desktop: The network will be streaming the debate live on its website, and cable logins will not be required to watch.
On Mobile: The debate will also be streaming on the Fox News app, available on mobile phones and tablets.
OR You can pay respects to our veterans and go to the Veterans' Day Parade (11.11.15) that will take place on 5th ave between 26th and 52 streets. It starts around 11:25 am. This year commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. This will be one of the last times you will be able to cheer on and thank the greatest generation. They are old now and getting older.
Write a personal reflection on your experience (1-2 paragraphs) and send me a selfie from the parade osakhno@schools.nyc.gov
