Students have been reading nonfiction articles and completing graphic organizers with their opinions and reasons on the topic as an introduction to our next writing genre: PERSUASIVE (OPINION) WRITING.
Instead of a spelling packet this week, they will be completing a graphic organizer and writing a rough draft of a persuasive piece based on the following writing prompt:
Write an opinion paper stating whether or not you think homework helps students learn. Defend your opinion with reasons and evidence. Make sure you include a conclusion that summarizes how you feel about homework.
We will be revising and editing rough drafts in class on Friday.
