This week, learners will continue the draft writing process for their informational research essays. Learners will develop body paragraphs that clearly organize different aspects of their topics, such as a description of the topic, the topic's history, and identified subtopics from their resarch. Rather than doing handwritten drafts, learners are writing their drafts directly on the computers. This gives them the opportunity to revise and edit their writing at every step.
This week, learners will split their classtime between their informational essay and 13 Colonies mini project. Learners will continue working with their partner to develop their Google Slides or Prezi presentation on their assigned colony. Learners will present their information in small groups next week, and will be assessed on the quality and organization of information in the presentation, as well as their speaking skills. This week, learners will continue researching and taking notes for their informational research project. Learners will make sure to sort information into the appropriate categories in their graphic organizer, and cite their sources in a bibliography. Learners will begin writing the draft for their informational essay at the end of the week, during whcih we will focus on crafting a strong introduction that catches the reader's attention and has a clear thesis statement.
We will continue our social studies unit on the 13 Colonies. Learners will continue researching their assigned colony with a partner, and begin building their Google Slides or Prezi presentation. Learners will presentation their mini project to a small group of peers the following week. |
