ELA: Students turned in their
Grammar Packets from yesterday (5.1-5.3) and began work on Day 4 of our Persuasive Research Writer's Workshop. We read two essays that proved a point,
then picked them apart, noticing where they could have done a better job and/or
where they did a good job. Students then looked through their journals for
topics that repeated often and decided if these topics would be good for their
Persuasive Research Paper. For tomorrow students need to have three statements that take
a stand on their topics. We will check these statements for which one is the
strongest and will have the most research backing both sides of the
debate. Homework: Finish statements. READ!
