Welcome Back and Happy New Year!!!
ELA: We have finished our Pilot of the Springboard ELA Textbook adoption. We used the pilot to introduce the components of Argument Writing. This week we will introduce the Socratic Seminar and how it fits into argument writing. After that we will focus on the topic: The Pros and Cons of Homework. We will read and annotate 2 articles. We will have a Socratic Seminar. We will then write a long paragraph that includes a claim and at least 2 reasons with evidence in order to back up the claim.
*Also, Book Club #3 is starting up today...they will meet Friday- So make sure they are reading every night!
Social Studies: Intro to Egypt - our next ancient civilization. We will do a discovery walk for 2 days. Then we will start with some mapping activities and text book work as well.
Thanks for reading,
Mr Franey
