For the first activity today Mrs. Abram's informed the students to look at the overhead. On her new smart board, a few select students went up to the front of the classroom and tried, as best as they could, to revise the student example research paper. After that, Mrs. Abram's even made comments about the paper. You can do this too. All you have to do is go to the MGLC section of this blog, and look at some examples of student research papers. The class looked at all of the paragraphs and read them out loud, as this does help to see if the paper flows correctly.
The next activity that students did was to make sure that their research paper checklist was written correctly. After that, students finished the research paper checklist.
The final activity of the day was for the students to get together with their peer editors. The editors need to go down the writing checklist and make sure that they are true topic sentences and a true thesis statement.
The homework for tonight is that someone, mom or dad, finishes editing the writing checklist.
As always, you must read for 30 minutes and fill an entry in your reading log.
