7th Grade--12/13

Today we began the class by discussing the function of the concluding paragraph of an essay. We constructed a list of reasons why having this paragraph was necessary, and I shared a generating and organizational strategy for paragraph creation. For the rest of the period, students worked to complete the rough drafts of their Giver essays. These essays should be completed and brought to class tomorrow.
