In Language Arts today the students started learning about the parts of speech. Today we talked about nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. We will talk about the rest of the parts of speech on Thursday.
We also began learning about CER. We discussed that CER is a way we an organize our writing that stands for claim, evidence, and reasoning. For many students, this was a review from elementary school. We also spent time digging deeper into the types of textual evidence we can have such as expert research and statistics. We talked about evidence that is credible versus evidence that we cannot rely on to be accurate.
Have a great evening!
