Writers' Workshop
Students are working hard on Opinion essays. Using Google docs and Google sites, students are writing weekly opinion essays in Google Docs and creating an opinion essay portfolio on Google Sites. This weeks issue: Should children have a limit on sugary drinks? We learned how to write effective introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions. Next week we will study a new issue and develop stronger essays.

This week we worked on finding theme by asking questions. We thought about character change, character personality, and character decisions in order to develop an understanding of theme. Students are writing literary essays in their readers' notebook focusing on claim, reasons, and evidence.
