Objective:  I can write a paragraph that explains howNewsela writer uses evidence with a goal to support a technique promoting his/her claim.

BW:  Reread the chunk: “Fierce Resistance to ‘Campus Carry.'”  Complete writing the paragraph begun on May 23.  Remember, the explanations that were given aloud yesterday for the ads, providing full development of detail.  If you were absent, remember to use the visual organizer(technique/goal/evidence).

Activities:

  1.  Present the remaining speeches.
  2. Elmo demo:  Discuss some of the bell work assignments.  Does the paragraph fully explain how the writer uses the technique?  Positive recommendations?  Improvements?
  3. If time allows, read to identify the claim in the article “A Criminologist’s Case Against Gun Control.”
