We are starting to work on writing and researching for our argument paper. The students had a work day in Science last week because we are collaborating on the topic of - Is climate change impacting the water cycle? Students will determine their position and research to find evidence to defend it in the form of an argument paper. Students will conference with me about each of their paragraphs and have the chance to make revisions prior to earning a grade for the entire paper next week.
The timeline for the week is as follows:
Monday: Research Day (Steps 1 & 2 due at the start of class). Paraphrasing Mini-Lesson.
Tuesday: Claims Packet due at the start of class. Claims Paragraph Mini-Lesson & Graded Discussion.
Wednesday: Claims Paragraphs due by the end of class.
Thursday: Introduction Mini-Lesson and Conferences about claims paragraphs. Open House for students and parents.
Friday: Introduction due and conferences about paragraphs.
