  2. Objective #1Students will understand that evidence is not always self-explanatory, and therefore will develop a model for informal reasoning. CCSS Argument 11-12: Use precise words, phrases and complex syntax to make explicit the relationships between claims and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claims and counterclaims.

  3. Objective #2Students need rules for interpreting data, and the rules can change from context to context. As a result, they will apply criteria to judge the relative merits of a set of proposed school mascots and prepare a written analysis. ( CCSS Argument 11-12: Use precise words, phrases and complex syntax to make explicit the relationships between claims and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claims and counterclaims.

  23. Imagine that E.J. Nelson Elementary School has just opened but has not yet selected a mascot

  24. Mascot Problem The E.J. Nelson Elementary School is having a contest to select the school mascot. The mascot’s image will appear on the gym floor, on school stationery, on school-spirit clothing, and on school publications. Four drawings have been selected for final consideration, and you are one of the judges. Here is what you need to do: Evaluate each of the drawings, and write an explanation of why it would or would not be a good mascot, based on the evaluation criteria that the class developed together. Keep the evaluation criteria in mind, remember the profile of the school and community, and study the details and attributes of the proposed mascots.

  25. Profile of E.J. Nelson Elementary School E.J. Nelson Elementary School opened two years ago in Floodrock, Illinois. Floodrock is located in Saline County, which is in the very southern region of the state. The current enrollment at E.J. Nelson is 315 students. The surrounding area has two major industries: farming and coal mining. The area has long been rich in coal mines, and many families in Saline County have had some connection to the coal mines. Since fewer homes and businesses depend on coal as an energy source these days, the activities in the mines have slowed and the coal companies employ few residents. Nevertheless, the citizens of Floodrock and the rest of Saline County still associate themselves with the coal industry. The school is named after E.J. Nelson, who was the president of the United Mine Workers of America for 40 years.
