ELA
We are continuing our work with literary and informational readings. As we read Gathering Blue, students are analyzing character, setting, and theme. For informational reading, students are examining various social studies documents and working on finding evidence, taking accurate notes, summarizing information.
Tomorrow students will work in groups based on how they performed on their opinion writing formative paragraph. Students who need extra help with crafting arguments will have more practice and students who are ready to extend their learning will focus on creating, and refuting, counterarguments.
