Congratulations on a strong 1st Quarter. We worked hard reading and analyzing informational texts, as well as selecting and citing evidence to support claims. Students also did a fabulous job of writing Argumentative Essays with counterclaims!
This week, we are wrapping up our investigation of September 11th and informational texts. Students are doing a fabulous job of matching textual evidence to central ideas. Next week, we will be moving on to claims and arguments...
We're finally getting into the swing of things! We're learning the rituals and routines of the classroom from how to successfully complete a Warm Up to learning what should happen at the V.I.P. table. We're also deep into learning how to understand and analyze informational texts while learning about the events of September 11th. After completing a scavenger hunt-style text analysis, we're now on to mastering the Close Read strategy and choosing textual evidence to support our opinions. Keep up the great work and check back next week for more updates.
