This week we will by switching our focus and begin looking at the elements of argumentative writing. \u00a0Students will examine what makes a good argument ( besides giving just their \u00a0opinion- which they are good at ;). \u00a0Later in the week they will then be working on researching to support their argument for the essay they will be writing.<\/p>\n
This week’s homework writing challenge will have students “playing” with the theme<\/p>\n
” Let Your Imagination Soar” from the PTSA. Students can create music, lyrics, dance, video, art, photography or literature- such as poems poems, stories, essays. \u00a0The idea is to be creative. For class they are required to spend at a minimum \u00a0of 20 minutes at home creating an idea and sharing that idea with me in their homework notebook. I told them to think of it like pitching an idea to Hollywood or a boss.<\/p>\n
After this week if students wish to make it into a final product to submit they can for a Bonus Challenge( Extra Credit<\/strong>). The would show me their entry by Dec. 4th and then turn into the PTSA by Dec. 8th.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition there is another opportunity tomorrow night at 6PM at the Ford Performing Arts Center to attend an Anti-Bullying Extravaganza!
