Social 10

If you missed today's class, you should try to get the notes that you missed from a classmate. I distributed two articles, one entitled "Globalization Harms the World's Culture" and the other "Globalization Benefits the World's Cultures". Half the class got one of the articles, and the other half of the class got the other article. As you read the article you were to take notes by trying to identify arguments and supporting evidence within the essay. You were also required to write down any interesting facts, figures or quotations that appeared in the essay. Next, I had you work in groups to try and categorize the examples into arguments, and to formulate a statement of position. We had a brief class discussion/debate on the issues raised in the articles. These articles will be helpful in writing your essays next week, so I hope that you took good notes. I also recommend that you try to get the notes from the other side of the argument.
