Today the seventh graders began working on formal essay writing. I checked in grammar homework, and then we went over the thesis worksheet. Students shared their best thesis statements, and we discussed why they were strong. Next, I handed out a packet on TIQA body paragraph format. We discussed this, and then did a group activity to examine this idea in writing.
Each group looked at a different student sample paragraph, and determined where they thought the elements of TIQA were, and if they were used correctly and well. Tomorrow, we will be working on writing our own TIQA paragraphs about The Outsiders. You will finish these for Monday.
