** We will be starting Argumentative/Persuasive Writing this week. Since some of you do not have the Strategies For Writers textbook at home, I have put a few pages for you to read on classroom.

Wednesday, 4/1:
** Journal #11 (4/1/20) Happy April Fools' Day! In the spirit of the day, have you ever played a joke on someone or pranked someone and it was a huge success? What did you do? Did anyone ever play a joke on you? What happened?
** Good seeing so many faces at our Zoom meeting yesterday! As I mentioned, we are starting our persuasive writing exercises this week, and a project next week. Today, read the page in Classroom - “Pointless, Painful Physical Education” and focus on the comments to the right side. These are the characteristics of persuasion in action.
** Next, read the “Beat Bullying” essay and answer the comprehension questions on the document. This will help you locate the parts of persuasion on your own. Please turn it in when it is finished.
Thursday, 4/2:
** Please complete your interactive notebook page from Tuesday.
** I have added a packet of work on Classroom. You will find the “Pointless, Painful Physical Education” and the “Beat Bullying” essays on pages 5 and 6. The entire packet of work is HERE! There are questions that go with the bullying essay on page 7. Please answer the questions 1-10. You can type right onto the page.
** Read pages 14 and 15 in the packet. Carefully read all of the examples so that you can see how those tools are used to make persuasive writing stronger!

** Journal #12 (4/3/20) What are some things that make you laugh? Was there ever a time when you laughed so hard that you couldn’t stop? Describe what happened.
** By the end of this week, you should have read both the Phys Ed and the Bullying essays that are in Classroom. I also posted a packet with that assignment. You should read pages 5,6,14, and 15. Once you have read them, complete pages 7 (1-10), and page 8.
** Today, I would like to work on one of the “Persuasive Tools” that was mentioned in yesterday’s reading. - Exaggeration - Hyperbole. Many times these are used in persuasion to help emphasize the writer’s point of view. Check out the “Flocabulary” video posted in Classroom! You will be singing about Hyperboles this weekend! :) Then, read and complete page 17 in the packet to practice creating a Hyperbole for a particular situation.
** PLEASE remember to turn in all assignments that need to be turned in through Classroom! Have a great weekend!
