Writer's workshop: Persuasive writing
Should all classrooms have the type of furniture we have in our classroom? The beginning of our persuasive writing unit began with the statement, 'We know every classroom in our school should have furniture like ours because it helps students learn.' Students were asked to do a quick-write speech with a partner to present the hows and whys of this argument. The objective of this unit is for the learners to feel confident developing an effective argument for or against something they believe in. Students will learn how to support their argument with reasons and anticipate counter-arguments.
Reader's workshop: Narrative non-fiction
What makes a great conversation? This week, we praticed having conversations around texts. Talking about reading is a good way to deepen comprehension, as well as practice conversational skills. Ask your child what he or she learned about having a good conversation through this activity.
As we move through our informational reading unit, we are beginning to explore narrative nonfiction, specifically biographies. We discussed the similarities between reading narrative nonfiction and fiction; as well as the differences between narrative and expository nonfiction.
