Language Arts Students now have their argument research topics! We are diving into research this week. We will focus on the definitions of ethos, logos, and pathos, as well as familiarizing ourselves with the argument rubric. Homework: Read for 30 minutes EVERY night. Some students expressed an interest in a more social reading experience for their homework reading. Early this week, there are student book club sign up sheets available. Groups can choose a novel, meeting time once a week (lunch, recess, or afterschool) and read a common book to have a new experience(we have sets available). Please email me if you have any questions, and encourage your student if you think they might enjoy reading with friends. This is not for a grade any more than a normal homework grade, it just gives them a new way to complete their homework with friends. Email me at andrews_s@hcde.org |
