We will continue our new unit called “Argument and Advocacy”. The kids will prepare for their final debate. In groups of 5 or 6 they will formally debate topics. The students will spend the week preparing. They have to organize evidence, prepare opening and closing statements, rebuttals and even cross-examination questions. These debates will occur on Thursday. The students will get grades from me for their participation in the debate and contribution to the group. Audience members will also watch and score the debates. Groups and individuals will be given awards on Friday for their work in the debates.
We will continue our unit called “Research Based Argument Essay”. The kids will continue working on their second of three essays. We will work on lifting the level of the essays by analyzing the evidence used and appealing to the audience while trying to provide a thorough argument.
We will continue a unit called “Whole Number Expressions and Operations”. The students will review and practice Prime Factorization and take a quiz on Thursday on Prime Factorization and Order of Operations.
