Looking forward to a new year with my seventh graders. A few moved over Christmas break and I'm sad about that.
I am so excited to get started with reading and writing for the second semester. In reading we will focus on persuasion techniques, persuasive reading material, fact/opinion, understand bias and author purpose/audience. A few persuasive articles relate to seventh grade "real world" reading that I think they will enjoy.
In writing we will not only understand persuasion techniques but make a brochure depicting all 6 techniques and later work with a partner to create a product and make a 1 minute commercial. It will be a very busy two weeks especially since my students will take the third Common Assessment!
