Today we worked on an example of an argument with supporting ideas with Ms Marcelle
Statement - HOMEWORK SHOULD BE BANNED
FIRST Main idea - Too much homework makes us unbalanced
Supporting ideas -
- Takes away from exercise and other favorite things
- It causes stress
SECOND Main idea - Too much homework wastes our time
Supporting ideas -
- Lose time with family
- Miss out on hobbies and things you are passionate about
Example powerful words
- Torturous homework
- Banned immediately
- Useless homework
- Stressful work
- Precious free time
The students edited their initial paragraph. They added supporting ideas and tried to make their argument more descriptive. We then listened to each others paragraphs. You child will share their presentation on their blog tomorrow.
We listed powerful words we used in our paragraphs and will do more work with these words later in the week.
