Last week, we reviewed articles and other sources about taking naps. We read closely, marked up our texts and now we are sleep experts! The next step is to make a claim and support it with evidence. We will be working on our argumentative essay about napping this week. Below is a (rough) schedule of where we will be. I will try to update this with actual due dates. We would like to get finish the rough draft before we leave for spring break, but I'm not sure how realistic that is. We'll see. :)
MONDAY: compile notes (they have already been taken) and decide which side of the issue you'd like to argue
TUESDAY: look at stucture of an argumentative essay vs. persuasive essay
WEDNESDAY: graphic organizer for argumentative essay (3 body paragraphs)
THURSDAY: work time with help for graphic organizer and rough draft
FRIDAY: (movie incentive day) work time for rough draft
We'll keep our fingers crossed that this actually happens. I'll keep you updated here.
