The focus has been on argumentative terminology and looking at what argumentative writing entails. We are practicing the writing of an argumentative CER this week as a class we look at how to best support our claim with evidence and reasoning.
SAT 3 quiz is on Friday with an extended section in there where students can choose to learn 5 additional words for the quiz – it doesn’t count for or against them, it is just a way to enhance their vocabulary.
NEWELA: Students are required to complete two articles a week due by Friday:
1st Article) assigned by me and requires highlighting, annotating, and a CER
2nd Article) student choice at their individual Lexile level (they have this in their planner based on NWEA score) where they will highlight, annotate, and take the quiz
