October 4th

Today we categorized Author’s purpose with different types of writing. They did extremely well with this activity! We will be moving onto new learning tomorrow!  We also reviewed making a claim and went back into our Newsela Article of the Week to determine it’s purpose for writing and wrote a claim statement  using the text features as evidence. Students have until Friday to finish their Article of the Week claim statement and quiz. This will be done in class as a Daily 5 choice.

Have a wonderful day!
