September 17

Students used the first 30 minutes of class to read, annotate, and respond to today's article of the week in their writer's notebook. They used the remaining time to read independently.

Today's Article: "Video Games and Violence, Explained"

We selected our next topic for discussion: health. Students should bring an article to share with their groups tomorrow.

We discussed the upcoming test and reviewed important terms. The test is Thursday. Students should bring a scored article tomorrow to add points to the test.

We recalled the student essays from yesterday and made a list of qualities of an effective persuasive essay. This transferred into a great discussion about how to organize an essay. We will continue this work tomorrow.
