Good Morning!

1. CHROMEBOOKS -- Please get your assigned Chromebook when you arrive.  


2. Debate Topic -- Your preparation for the debate requires research for evidence to support your position.  

Be sure to record the information from the site that you used. A good way to do that is to create a document and name it "Works Cited."   Use easybib.com to get the proper MLA formatted citation.  The following is an example:

Koseffakoseff@sacbee.com, Alexei. "California Senate Gives 10 Percent Raises to 71 Employees to Close Gender Pay Gap." Sacbee. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Feb. 2017.
