November 19, 2015Today’s Agenda: Read/Assess model responses Continue drafting response

ModelsColleges make a large amount of money off their athletics that the athletes never even see. “The college sports industry generates $11 billion in annual revenues” (Text 1, line 1). The athletes at these colleges are making all the money. They play in the games people pay to see, their names are on the merchandise sold, but they never see a penny come their way. “These revenues are passed along to NCAA executives, athletic directors, and coaches in the form of salaries”. (Text 1, line 9-10) Sure all of those people need to get paid somehow, but they aren’t the ones directly making the money.

Models Silently read each of the model

responses. Take note of : How claims and counterclaims are

presented How evidence is presented and

cited How ideas are reinforced

Circle TalkShare your observations with your peers.

This is a great time to clear up any confusions you have.

done, finished, so done, finito, its over!
