In Language Arts today the students reviewed cause and effect. This is something they have been working on in Science. Today we looked at it from a writing perspective. The students practiced writing an introduction which needs to be completed prior to arriving in class tomorrow. Students were given an IBC Chart to help them organize their thinking. I have attached an additional copy to this blog post. I have also added the cause and effect powerpoint we looked at in class to this blog post as well
We also wrapped up The Big Question on The Big Idea board. The question was, “Do we learn from the adults in our lives? Why or why not?” The three paragraph reflection on this unit will be due on Wednesday. The first paragrpah should be their initial response to this quesiton. The second paragrpah should focus on their response after completing the unit. The third paragraph should focus on what they would like to learn more about, what they found interesting, or what is still confusing to them.
Have a great evening!
