This week we are wrapping up planning for a persuasive essay on ” Should kids under the age of 13 have Facebook accounts?” When we return from the break students will use their graphic organizer to write their draft.
Today marks the end of the 2nd marking period. The grades showing on MI-Star (parent/student connect) are accurate. Students do have an optional opportunity to complete a reading journal or add 5 new words to their vocabulary tracker over the break. These would be DUE MONDAY and count as either extra credit or as a makeup for missing one of those assignments.
These reading journal and vocabulary tracker can be found in an earlier post or students can create on based on one of their earlier reading journals.
