Students have been very busy this past week in Language Arts as they gear up to demonstrate what they have learned this card-marking period in regards to author’s craft and citing textual evidence.
This past week students:
- annotated several articles in preparation for their argumentative essay
- assessed their ability to identify the strongest argument with daily exit tickets
- completed brainstorming webs during their pre-writing
- closely examined different excerpted evidence and assessed which was the strongest, and defended their response
- lastly, begun work on organizing their ideas from their brainstorming into an outline (due at the start of class on Monday, December 4th)
Next week students can plan on:
- composing their first draft
- completing exercises regarding incorporating transition words and phrases
- peer-reviewing each other’s drafts using an argumentative rubric
- typing the final draft of their argumentative essay
Students interested in receiving one-on-one help can stay after school on Wednesday, November 6th with Ms. Sabbagh.
Happy Writing!
