Week 27

This week in reading we will be focusing on explaining how an author uses reasons and evidence to support their points in a text. This will really help us as we are trying to use reasons and evidence in our own essays to support our texts. We are also starting our final homework Persuasive Essay. This time we are answering the question, should women compete against men in sports? This will be due next Friday, March 14th. This time the students are to created their own pre write on their yellow sheet. This will prepare them for the test next month, when they will have to create their own pre write using blank paper.

This week in writing we are finishing our Author Report. We will be working on our posters in class. I have some supplies for students to use, but if students want to bring their own to work on their poster, they are more than welcome to. Students should have a pink paper with all the instructions on what they need to do for the written report, poster, and oral presentation. I also have an example up on my blog.

In math this week we are finishing up our angles unit and we will be taking a test on Wednesday. Then we will be learning how to multiply fractions by a whole number.

This week in social studies we are talking about what it was like for the pioneers when they got to Utah and examining their lives compared to our lives.
