Students are comparing first/primary and second/secondary accounts on the same topic. They are supporting their reasoning by writing similarities , differences, focus,details, feelings, and point of view. This is done on a graphic organizer. They have been told to
study the lists of text examples in their journals to prepare for the
test this coming Friday. We refer to them during daily activities.
We continue to work on developing an opinion essay. This is different from a narrative ,
persuasive , and informational essay. Specific vocabulary focused on
feelings and thoughts are included. They may write about something they enjoy or despise! Students should be reviewing this vocabulary and sentence starters in their journals.
Please join us Wednesday for an amazing Thanksgiving lunch!
