I have been gone for two days, so I would like to get those of you who were absent caught up on what has been done in class. For those of you who have been present, this will let you know that you are on the right page. We have had lang arts planning meetings, and I am still so excited about this research unit!
The instructions for class these past two days in on Canvas. Please go to my class, and then click on Announcements. Look under Monday, March 16: Informational/Research Unit. Read the instructions and click on the link for further instructions. The Resources for articles and videos is under Modules on Canvas.
In a nutshell, you are making a claim about teen activists. This claim should be formed by reading several articles, especially the first two bullets, and making a claim about a characteristic of a teenage activist. Under your claim, write several bullets that give more specifics about that characteristic.
Find many examples of evidence (quotes, details) that support your claim. You need to make sure this claim is true for several different activists. You need to be thinking: If I am going to teach about teenage activists, what BIG IDEAS should I teach?
This is going to turn into about a 4 paragraph paper.
- The intro is introducing your claim. Lead up to it by making some statements about teen activism...what have you read and seen.
- In each body paragraph, focus on different activists (one for each paragraph). Use evidence, quotes and details to PROVE YOUR CLAIM. Remember, do two paragraphs for your body.
- Conclusion: Look back in your composition book. What should a conclusion include?
I hope this helps. Tomorrow will be a day to share and get caught up. I can't wait to hear and see your writing!
Thank you! See you tomorrow!
