Can we analyze how authors build arguments?
Objective: Students will be able to identify claims and evidence in informational arguments.
1. In our Writer's Notebook page 82, we wrote a status report, individually reflecting on how we each did as students during Term 1 of this school year and making goals and plans for next term.
2. On our reading challenge log, we reported how we did on our term 1 reading goal and set a new goal for 2nd term.
3. First as a class and then individually, we identified the claims and the evidence presented in previous student response paragraphs to our Monday articles.
4. As a class, we debated the question "does music help you study?" Then we individually read the article entitled "Does Music Help You Study?" As we read, we each annotated two things: a) first, we summarized the results of each experiment used by the author as evidence, and b) we then identified the main claim of the article and placed a star next to it.
For next time: Remember to bring a reading book.
