Students practiced their debate skills this past week with the argument on whether or not celebrities should appear in sugary drink ads. I can say after this week that the students love to argue. The argumentative writing unit should continue to be an exciting one as we continue debates next week on whether or not graffiti is art. Students will apply researched text evidence to support their sides and take in account the opposing side as they include the counterarguments in their writing. Should be an exciting week before Spring Break.
The following is an outlook for the week of March 30-April 3:
Monday- Intro to new debate: Is graffiti art?
Tuesday- STAR Reading Test
Wednesday & Thursday- Continue argumentative writing debate.
Friday- No school
Sometimes communication does not make it home. Please note:
- 3rd quarter report cards were sent home yesterday (Thursday).
-Parent teacher conferences start next week.
Have a safe weekend!
