Lunchroom Murder

You and a partner must attempt to determine which of the people in the lunchroom killed Fannin. You will have to observe the details carefully. There is enough evidence to help you explain most of what happened. In working out the solution, consider the following questions.

Claim, Evidence, WarrantDefinition of Claim:An assertion usually supported with evidence. Usually includes a support, refute, or qualify statement.Example: Students should not have cell phones in school because it is a distraction in the classroom

Definition of Evidence: Evidence provided to bolster the Claim and support the Warrant.Backing: In 2010, cell phone violations were the second most disciplined offense at Kentridge High School.

Definition of Warrant: the implied statement that creates a logical connection between the Claim and the Backing.Example: Even though cell phones are banned from school, it is assumed all students carry a cell phone with them, and many of them send text messages in class, but are never caught.

QUIZ Tomorrow and Reading Logs Due!

Weather Changes: Persephone

Task 1: The assignment is to read, and annotate then summarize on separate piece of paper.Make sure to annotate the story as you go along highlighter or not the annotations are the important part. I prefer them in the margins and complete sentences.•Questions - Multiple Levels of Questions - Starting with “I wonder…?”•Comments - Opinion on the text - Starting with “I think…”•Connections - To Text, To Self, to World - Starting off with “I Know…” or “This reminds me of…”

Task 2: Just like our well known Fairy Tales, the Greek myths we have read explain the origin of the seasons but are also supposed to teach us something. Imagine that you are an ancient greek mother explaining the story of Persephone and Demeter to your child. What is the moral or life lesson that can be learned from their story? I mean the lesson the story is teaching us as humans, not the lesson to the characters in the story.In a multi paragraph response use evidence from the piece to communicate the life lesson the story was supposed to teach humans.
