Today in Language Arts the students continued to learn about figurative language. This time, we focused on hyperboles. I have added the video the students watched to correspond to this lesson to my blog post for today.
The students also continued to learn about making a claim and supporting that claim with textual evidence. Today we practiced identifying a claim and evidence in a sample writing piece.
Lastly, the students learned about the last type of multiple choice question as it relates to the QAR strategy. We discussed that “on my own” questions require students to use their prior knowledge on the topic they are reading about or making textual connections to answer questions.
