| We are
building background knowledge for our Mildred Taylor author study.
We are finishing our research, baseball cards, and job interviews
based on the Negro Leagues and Jackie Robinson integrating baseball
in 1947. Students will be reading and viewing a variety of texts and videos
including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and documentary). We will
refine our knowledge of the reading strategies and research. |
This week we are continuing
the newspaper unit with a focus on editorials. The focus of this
paper is persuasion. We continue to apply
the tricks authors use to create voice in our writing and appeal to
our audience. Essay writing such as hooks, thesis, coherence,
cohesion, support,etx.will be important to the conversation. We are
reviewing combining sentences, correcting sentence fragments and
run-on sentences, and the smiley face tricks (expanded moment,
specific detail, repetition for effect, figurative language, full
circle ending, humor, hyphenated modifier, and magic 3 ) |
