| TODAY is the first official day of fall! |
READING:
Learning Target: I can identify and describe the author's purpose of a passage.
Students re-practiced the skill of identifying the Author's Purpose in a text by looking for clues: did the text: have a teaching tone (to inform), use colorful language and a friendly tone (to entertain), or was argumentative in trying to convince us to do/ buy/ think something (to persuade)? We practiced using several passages and identifying the cues. Then, students had 3 different pages of independent practice (2 for a grade).
HOMEWORK: NEW Literature Circle Roles are due by THIS Friday, Sept. 25th
