Class 731 impressed today with a great writing session. Students listened to a podcast yesterday in which a young man told us not to wear saggy pants because, among other reasons, they create bad impressions and may cost you a job. We discussed the pros and cons of wearing saggy pants. Then students wrote persuasive paragraphs that either convinced the reader of the pros or the cons of wearing saggy pants. Today, we shared, revised, edited and published. Check out the work on the classroom bulletin board.
Many of you will be on the ski trip tomorrow. Mrs. Moreno and I are going to use the class time to work with small groups. Class 702 is encouraged to bring in games as we will have a class bonding day.
On Friday, we will pick up persuasive analysis and writing as we brainstorm school issues that we may bring to Mrs. Schneider's attention as we lobby for a more productive and enjoyable school experience. Remember, we will be working in groups of people who share our ideas, but we will produce individual persuasive pieces that fit our interests and talents.
Homework: Read/Respond Feb. 3.
