Dates to remember:
Vocabulary workshop quiz over unit 5 words 11 - 20 will be on February 9, 2018. February break is February 19 - 23. In language arts this week, we will be reading 2 articles "Don't Ban Peanuts at school, but Teach about the Dangers" and "Penny Problem: Not Worth the Metal It's Made Of". Students will be identifying the claim, or thesis statement, and the support for, or against, the claim. Students will also be practicing paraphrasing, stating a claim and providing support for their claim. For homework this week, students will be working on writing their own opinion paragraph for the prompt "Which fast food restaurant do you think should be allowed to provide meals on Wednesdays at Pine Mountain Middle School." Monday - brainstorm which restaurant would you nominate and the reasons to support your claim Tuesday - write a rough draft Wednesday - use the paragraph review to edit your rough draft Thursday - Write your final copy. It will be due when you come to class.
