Today, we began by reviewing both sides of the question posed last day: Is plastic surgery a good idea for teens? Students provided many examples (some from the magazine article and some of their own ideas) to support each side. Though there were many examples presented in support of each side, for the most part, we agreed that plastic surgery for teens is probably not a good idea.
Then, we watched an episode of "Toddlers and Tiaras" in order to determine the kinds of things little girls are being taught to value, as well as note the qualities and skills being built as a result of their participation in these pageants. Students were asked to keep track of these things while watching, and we will debrief next day.
We are going to write a demo persuasive paragraph together, after sharing our responses next class.
