In Language Arts today the students continued to gather information for their argumentative essays. Today we focused on finding examples of textual evidence. Tomorrow, we will focus on how this evidence supports our claim. At that point, the pre-writing will be done and we will be moving on to constructing paragraphs with the information we have gathered.
The students also continued to learn about interjections by creating sentences with their own interjections in them.
Have a great evening!
