Take a Peek at Our Week!

In Lang & Lit, our group discussions focused on identifying the author's specific purpose in writing the article based on the evidence presented.



Later in the week, we used our RACCE strategy once again to write how the text structure reveals or supports the author's purpose. The students are becoming rock stars with this strategy and could effectively answer the question and connect text evidence to prove their answers. We will take a formative assessment on text structure and author's purpose on Monday and then revisit summarizing informational texts next week!




In Individuals & Society, we used the "see, think, wonder" strategy to analyze various artifacts representing exploration. After our artifact activity, students answered the debatable question-"Is all exploration positive?". We will revisit this question throughout the planner as we study different aspects of exploration. Next week we will focus on what motivated explorers and begin our expert explorer research!








Have a great weekend!!!
