In Language Arts today the students continued to practice identifying theme. We read a new story called Ant and Grasshopper. When the students were done reading, they worked with a partner of their choice to identify the theme in the story and explain its meaning.
In addition to identifying theme, each class began to look at argumentative writing. We discussed what the difference between a fact and an opinion is and discussed some examples in class. I have added the powerpoint on fact v. opinion to this blog post.
