 * All you are doing is creating the triangle and the question--we'll fill in the rest later.
 * Read Article 3, Section B
 * Fill in the Summary Triangle for section B.

2. Begin Writing Body Paragraph One
 * Show students the prompt and explain it:

//Computers, the Internet, and cell phones are all a part of modern technology. They have changed people’s lives in many ways. Despite improvements to communication, modern technology has had a negative influence on teenagers. Defend or challenge this claim.//


 * Students have now read some articles on students using the Internet and other modern technology. Now they decide if it has a positive or a negative influence.
 * After students decide, and they can pick either one, they begin writing their body paragraph one (handout).
 * Due tomorrow--finish as much as you can in class. We will type it tomorrow.

3. Teach students the 4 part heading and to save their work right away
 * The teacher will model how to format a paper in Microsoft Word. Students will take notes to use in the computer lab.
