Students have been reading articles on whether or not stores should open on Thanksgiving. Today in class, we worked to take the evidence we’ve gathered, select 2 strong pieces, and to explain them ourselves.

Since this is the first time we’re doing this together, we did it as a class. We focused on the pros (positives) of opening stores on Thanksgiving. Students helped to plan the paragraph together.

Students’ homework tonight is to recopy their paragraph onto the sheet provided, from their graphic organizer.

Remember to:

-indent at the beginning

-skip lines in case you need to go back and make changes/additions.

-bring the paper back tomorrow so it can be graded.
