Thursday and Friday, November 20 & 21, 2014

Today in Language Arts the students read the article with the claim that video games are educational for students.  They were also given time to make their own claim and research for evidence that support it in class.  They were given a graphic organizer to do so.  Tomorrow, the students need to come to school with their research completed.  I have added links to websites that the students can use to research.

 

The students also looked at how to write and introduction and what body paragraphs should include.  We will be reviewing this tomorrow and the students will be given time to write their essays.  By Monday, the students should have their introduction and three body paragraphs written.

The reason I am posting all of this today is because I will be absent tomorrow so there will be no blog post.

Have a great weekend!
