3PA Update
Last week, students were introduced to literary essays. We discussed some important vocabulary in relation to this topic. They include the following: claim, thesis statement, quotation, and supporting evidence. Students have been exposed to some of these terms in their classroom setting, as well as Project Arrow. During the upcoming week, students will be reading A Chair For My Mother by Vera B. Williams. We will work collaboratively to answer the essential question, "What does the main character in A Chair For My Mother value?". We will be composing a thesis statement and collecting supporting evidence. Then, students will complete a shared writing of a literary essay. They will also be encouraged to use a specific structure or format within their writing and will be taught how to explain or justify the evidence included in their essay. I am looking forward to our new learning opportunities and to observing the great work students will be completing.
