WRITING - Q1 Week 2 Day 1
Today we wrote the second Baseline piece for the year - "Argument". 45 minutes to go through the whole writing process. Students were asked to write your opinion or claim (about anything. If you're stuck, I suggested that you give your opinion about what the best movie ever, or the best book ever, might be) and tell reasons why you feel this way. When you do this, draw on everything you know about essays, persuasive letters, and reviews.
Remember - there is no right or wrong, just you putting forth your best effort so I can see what you already know about how to do these requirements.
When we finished, students began setting up their Writing Notebooks by numbering all of the pages in the top right corner (right side page only).
Make sure you:
Write an introduction
State your opinion or claim
Give reasons and evidence
Organize your writing
Acknowledge counterclaims
Use transition words
Write a conclusion
