Homework for 3/12/19: 
 
Reading/Literature:  READ 30 minutes every night including weekends!  
Language Arts:  Argumentative essay is NOT due tomorrow.  Too many students are still struggling.  Students need to continue working on their essay at home tonight.  I reviewed several essays with students today; I used the document camera, so we could review it as a whole class.  A lot of feedback was given.    
Students NEED to use the argumentative packet, along with the green Performance Assessment book, in order to write this 4 paragraph essay.
 
Briefly:  Framework for an argument 
 
Intro. paragraph:  *Attention getter
     *Thesis statement (That’s it!!)
Body paragraphs:  *Start with a topic sentence (Split thesis statement in half — i.e. People should not be allowed to keep pit bulls as pets because they are unsafe.) — Or, create your own topic sentence.
                               *Give evidence to support your topic sentence (use the evidence sheet)
                               *Explain the evidence!! This is the part that many students are forgetting.  How does this evidence prove their position??  It’s the so what??  You cannot arbitrarily throw in a quote from    the text and say that it proves your point.
*Give more evidence
*Explain the evidence
                                *Write a concluding sentence (you can “flip” the topic sentence around for your concluding sentence — i.e. Because pit bulls are unsafe, people should not be allowed to own them as pets.)
Conclusion:  *Start with “In conclusion, “ and restate the claim or position (people should not be required to keep pit bulls as pets.)
     *Restate each reason (make them strong statements)
                     *Explain what would happen if your argument goes unnoticed.
                                  
Math:  Bring module 13.
 
Science:  No homework
Social Studies:  Students will be working on their Diamonte poems in class over the next few days.
 
Have a great night.
