What an AMAZING trip we had to Mono Cliffs!!!!
We will be using our experiences to plan and write a Persuasive 5-Paragraph Essay. Once done, students will present this as their "Speech."
This week, students are working on For and Against t-charts to list reasons for the following statement:
All Grade 7 students should go to Mono Cliffs
From there, they are choosing their strongest 3 reasons and providing examples from their experience to support their statements. After this is complete, I am conferencing with each student to ensure that they are on track for creating solid arguments with vivid examples.
The next and final step will be to use this plan to develop strong and interesting paragraphs. The 5 Paragraph Essay includes:
1. Introductory Paragraph
2. 1st Argument, with supporting details
3. 2nd Argument, with supporting details
4. 3rd Argument, with supporting details
5. Conclusion Paragraph
The writing should be completed by the end of next week Speeches will take place during the 1st week of June.
