• Social studies vocabulary quiz on Friday.Lastly, tonight’s homework: Tomorrow is our On Demand writing for opinion writing.  An On Demand writing is an assessment to evaluate your child’s growth in this genre of writing.

Today I talked with the students about what a opinion/argument writing was and tonight they need to brainstorm with you a topic that they could write about tomorrow.

Have your child  think of an issue that they know and care about. Tell them that they will write an opinion or argument text that they will write their opinion or claim and tell reasons why they feel that way.  They will need to think about everything that they already know about essays, persuasive letters, and reviews. If they want to bring in a book or another outside source to help them  they may bring that with them tomorrow.

Please make sure that your son/daughter has a topic in mind for tomorrow so they are ready to take their writing through the writing process in the designated class time.

Happy Brainstorming!
