Are you ready for the Math Assessment?

H/W
IXL b.7 & s.1

Spend 20minutes working collaboratively on your Animoto Persuasive Project. You must have an arguable thesis statement that clearly states your opinion.

I fixed the problem from class today. Use this link to create your team's copy of your persuaisve essay planning sheet here: PLANNING SHEET

e.g. Cheerleading needs to be banned as a Middle School activity because participants receive far too many injuries. Members of cheerleading squads form elite exclusionary clubs and the activity itself distracts students from their academic responsibilities.

1) topic - cheerleading
2) opinion - banned from school
3) reasons  i) injuries ii) exclusionary clubs iii) distracting

Can you find these elements in your  thesis statements?

Remember, the focus is visual literacy. How can you  write an essay with images?
See sample of a digital introduction again below. Can you work out my thesis statement?




Postponed until tomorrow
Learn how to calculate your reading fluency. You should do this every month and keep  a tally on your blog   (Words Read Correctly x 60) divided by seconds it takes to read the passage

Thesis Statements

H/W
Studylink 3.10

Look at the list of topics  on the Review Sheet at the end of the Unit. Bring any questions you have on these topics to class tomorrow.

Make sure you have x3 clearly measurable thesis statements for tomorrow's class.
e.g.  Adults littering on the world's beaches and oceans is a terrible habit that pollutes the environment, harms wildlife, and sets a bad example to children

Notice in the above -
 1) topic is clear 2) stance (your opinion) is clear 3) my reasons are clear

YOUR THESIS STATEMENTS MUST CONTAIN ALL 3!
see video below for further explanation
