Weekly Update - September 3

In Language Arts students will be working on a couple of things this week.
  1. Students will be given questions from the Scarlet Ibis. Students will be required to go back through the story and answer these questions. They will need to provide evidence as they answer these questions using the RACES strategy.
  2. Students will continue to research and put together their arguments for or against whether Brother is guilty or innocent in the death of Doodle. Since this will be a persuasive opening statement, students will be taking a pre-assessment on persuasive writing. Students will be learning persuasive techniques such as appealing to emotion and using expert advice when writing their arguments.
