We honed our research skills during library and language arts. Each student researched a topic of his/her choice and created a filmstrip report. Then, they completed bibliographies.

We've worked hard on essay writing skills this year. We played a game called "Writing Ninjas" where we focused on:
1. Using all words in a question to answer the question 2. Writing a 3-part thesis 3. Writing 3 topic sentences based on the thesis statement 4. Adding specific details that match each topic sentence 5. Writing conclusion sentences 6. Adding a hook and background information at the very beginning of an essay, so the reader knows what you're about to write about 7. Drafting a conclusion paragraph - restating the thesis and then explaining briefly why what you're talking about matters |
