Technology (Graham): Presented our "6 Words" . They were very cool.
ELA - Students took their TKM chapters 7-9 quiz, then moved on to work on their Persuasive Research Essays. For Day 6 of the Writer's Workshop, students revisited the articles we read on Wednesday and located the opposing view. Three out of four of the articles were for raising the driving age so students needed to find in that article the place where the author acknowledged the other side's view. They then practiced writing statements that were for and against specific "teen issues", and finally they looked back at the views they wrote about on Wednesday and found specific facts that disproved the opposing view. It is important that they recognize that there is an opposing view to their opinion, and also be able to find facts that "debunk" the opposing view. Homework: Read
