Wow! You all must have put in some extra effort last night! I was very pleased with the math test grades today. Congrats!
Homework: Tonight students will get the opportunity to put their newly developed persuasive writing skills to the test. I am sending home a writing prompt that asks students to pretend they are running for the mayor of Tioga. I ask that students follow the following rules when completing this assignment:
1. Write in cursive only.
2. Sketch out main reasons briefly at the top of the page so you know what you plan to write about.
3. Indent each paragraph. ( I am not assigning a specific length to write.)
4. Remember what we learned in class today about how to structure a persuasive paragraph: topic sentence, reason, reason, BEST reason, concluding sentence (summarize your positions).
I will also suggest that students bring home their Language Arts Handbook and sample persuasive writing to assist them. Parents- please ask students to show you this information.
Good luck and happy writing!
Mrs. Anderson :)
