Background Research
Warm-Up:
The best arguments predict what an opponent might think about their ideas and address them. Which of the following could you use to anticipate arguments about our water data?
Our data was only collected from the 7th grade, so it is not a large enough representation of problems in the whole town
Students probably would not know if their families have lead pipes, and so that data is probably not accurate
Ms. K probably miscounted the data and messed up the results
Both a and b are appropriate
None of the above would be appropriate responses to our data

2. Objective:
Students will be able to synthesize information from multiple sources and evaluate its effectiveness in a written report
