We began our "argumentative/opinion" unit for writing. This week we are spending the week learning how to read the articles so we can begin researching for our own argument. Students paired off in groups and worked together to pick a topic to debate. Some of the topics include: Should we have zoos; Should we have extreme sports; Should we spend more time researching the ocean or space and Should we protect people from sharks or sharks from people!
We also began a new reading unit. All students picked and received their fantasy book this week! Please check in with them to make sure they are keeping up with the reading. They will have plenty of class time, but they will still need to devote time throughout their weeknights periodically also.
