In Language Arts today the students began our unit on argumentative writing. Between now and the break, the students will be practicing making claims, using evidence to support their claims, and explaining how the evidence they give supports their claim. This is something we have been working on all school year but over the next few weeks, we will be expanding this concept into a full essay that will be due at the end of break.
Today in class the students reviewed facts and opinions. They practiced identifying facts and opinions and they discussed how you can tell the difference between the two.
The students were also given a new article of the week. Today the students spent time predicting what the article of the week is going to be about.
Lastly, the students spent time in the library.
Have a great evening!
