The fifth graders began crafting their introductory paragraphs for their research-based opinion pieces during our ELA time. Over the last two weeks, they have been exposed to a number of different videos, articles and books that speak to the challenges faced by animals in the 21st century. Their goal is to write an opinion piece concerning the wellbeing of animals, specifically whether they are better off in the wild or in captivity. This work will continue throughout the rest of the month.
We also spent some time looking at complex, non-fiction text during our reading period. The kids looked at an article concerning octopuses and then looked to capture some notes and observations that tied into our overall lesson of working through complex writing.
