It's Thursday! Today in Humanities, students analyzed several informational articles for text structure and provided supporting evidence to prove their analysis. The types of informational texts we haved studied are:
-description/list
-sequence or time order
-compare/contrast
-cause/effect
-problem/solution
Students have collected an example article for each of these types of text structures and they will use these examples when they decide the structure for the informational text that they will write.
Students then visited the "gallery" of their classmates' redesign projects and gave each other feedback on the projects. Several students presented their projects in front of the class before turning them in. Finally, Miss Devine explained the CURRENT EVENTS homework that is due on Wednesday:
Current Events homework:
Cut out a current event article from a newspaper, magazine or publication. You may print an article from the internet as well. This can be local, national or international news. Then, reflect on the article in the following ways:
1. Summarize it: if you had to describe this event in 5 sentences, what would you say?
2. Why did you choose this article? Why is it interesting or meaningful to you?
3. What do you predict will happen next with this event?
TONIGHT's HOMEWORK: Highlight all of the introductory sentences in the informational texts Miss D has given you. Decide- which one is most interesting to you and why?
