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
