Communication Arts: 3/23 - 3/27

This week in Communication Arts we will officially be starting our Battle of the Brains competition. Battle of the Brains consists of the students forming teams, creating mascots and team names and each day reading a different non-fiction article and completing a quiz and writing prompt after reading. The quizzes and writing prompts are graded; the winning team moves on. All teams participate each day, but they don't all have the chance to be crowned champions. The teams completed a round of prelims to earn their rankings within the class last week. Teams are organized into brackets, and the winning teams and block with the most points will earn various prizes. In addition to Battle of the Brains we will be having a debate, brushing up on various grammar aspects and completing readers theatre. Lastly we will have the March One Pager writing day on Thursday.
