Before spring break students finished up their persuasive books. They learned that in order to convince their readers of something they would need to state their opinion and provide evidence to support it. To name a few of their original titles: Birds Are Amazing, I Want More Wii Games, Animals in Danger, Why Hamsters Are the Best Pet, Why I Should Have a Cat. :0) !!!!
We are now moving into writing reviews. We are beginning with book reviews and may be branching out into other areas such as musical reviews, restaraunt reviews, etc. This week students are being introduced to book reviews, the componenents of a book review, making a list of books they might be interested in reviewing and planning to write a review. To publish these pieces, students will record one another! Think "Reading Rainbow" style. The students are very excited!
