In Language Arts today the students participated in a socratic seminar where they discussed the pros and cons of kids being allowed to play video games. All week, we have been gathering facts and looking at the viewpoints of others. Today, the students were allowed to use the facts they have gathered to form their own opinion about the topic. After the discussion they wrote a CER in their writing notebooks about whether or not video games have a positive effect on today’s youth.
With the remainder of class time, the students hovered for words they do not know in the story, “The School Play”, from our literature book. We will be reading this story in class on Monday.
Have a fantastic weekend! Don’t forget Monday is our library day!
