In the "Brainstorming" space, write a paragraph each for at least two of these options.

We'll initiate the tournament on Thursday.

If your slides are not yet ready, be sure to polish them; and discuss with your partner how you'll handle presenting. ===== Thursday ===== Tournament Begins ===== Friday ===== Criteria are a necessary element in articulating a persuasive argument about value. But, note, sometimes the criteria you choose effect the results. In another respect, if you advance criteria that your readers don't accept -- then they may also reject your value judgement. So often we have to explain and sometimes justify our selection of criteria. This is relevant to your tournament presentations and your thesis papers. ==== Tournament continues (ends?) ==== [[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1izCFaHiAqTp-u49kyg23Lv5V9XXtfVGYtE1szQMdzjI/edit?usp=sharing|Day 2 Slides]] * Team Playthrough * Classmate questions * What (if any) are our shared criteria for good e-literature? ---- The class notebook does not easily allow collaboration among students. You will use IUP Office 360 Word Online documents to get and give comments on your peers. ==== Thanksgiving Break ==== We do not meet face to face this week.
