    Here, we all need to collaborate and agree on one cohesive thesis statement which will be on the second slide and reinforced in the conclusion!

    I'd say based on the presentations alone, without any bias, Team B did a better job of getting their points across. With that being said, I think our thesis should be "The use of texting and cyber slang in today's modern world, as a whole, does not promote the growth of literacy."

    Janelle, I like you statement but I don't think we should include cyber slang because our topic was only about texting and that might not be very fair to Team A because they did not bring up cyber slang as much as Team B did. Other than that, I really like that thesis statement.

    That sounds fair to me. So it would read "The use of texting in today's modern world, as a whole, does not promote the growth of literacy."

    Yes. Great. So far that is what is on our PowerPoint unless some one objects.

    I like that statement very much. It sounds really good and straight to the point.

    I've reviewed all the information for Team B. Some of their sources were credible, others were not. Do I need to do some of my own research now to support our thesis? OR Is our presentation only based on what we find within Team B's sources?

    Also, I have posted a few slides to our presentation. If they need to be deleted, by all means do so, but I needed another way to organize my thoughts for the initial research. I like using Diigo, but all the information can seem disorganized and over whelming to me from time to time.

    I'm thinking we need to do research of our own also but I could be wrong. Also, what kind of images do you all want in the presentation? I can start working on that tonight.

    I was thinking we should do something funny like autocorrect fails or texts that are filled with short hand. For example, the James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell "totes magotes" Sprint commercial

    Yeah that's a great idea! That would be awesome and very hilarious!
