Questions to ask your student this week:
Reading: Students started working on a "one-pager" to show their comprehension of Hoot. Students will use text and images to demonstrate their understanding of the theme, characters, setting, and style of the novel. You can find the project guidelines and rubric under the "reading resources" tab. We will be finishing these up next week! Writing: We started a new writing assignment this week, a letter to the editor. We looked at examples of letters published in the New York Times and broke down what elements a convincing letter has. We also learned about logos, ethos, and pathos as persuasive techniques. Students chose the news article they want to respond to, and are working on filling out a planning document before they start writing their letter. You can find the planning document and the rubric under the "Writing Resources" tab.
