Tree Study is due on Thursday!
Social Studies Presentations are due next Tuesday.
Writing Task: we are picking from our brainstorming lists the 3 strongest arguments. We are then writing 5-6 points for each argument, with some facts to support it (these might need to be researched). We are also coming up with our thesis (opinion/statement on your stance).
This should be ready to go for Tuesday after lunch!
Friday is a PD Day - no school!
Writer's Workshop
We have started working on a persuasive writing/opinion piece. Students have picked a topic from a list of choices, and done some brainstorming.
Today, we looked at techniques for persuasion that you would find in places such as magazines, newspapers, tv and radio ads.
After recording these techniques in our writing journals, we went through magazines to try to find examples of each technique.
At home, listen for some of these persuasion techniques on tv and radio advertisements! Talk to your parents about which ones you hear!
