* Extension - Preparation for work session
The task:
- Bring a lesson with an argumentation task from existing curriculum that you would like to revise. This could be the lesson you examined for the Extension Activity of Session #1.
- Before the next meeting, look through the planning tool and mark which argumentation element you would highlight for each activity
- Keep these activities in mind since you could incorporate one into the lesson you choose to revise.
