I need to apologize to the parents of these students! These kids are becoming great arguers and they're really good at supporting their opinion with evidence or reasoning. So it is inevitable that these students will use this skill to get their way at home. For this I am sorry. We all researched a mystery and gathered information and evidence. Each student decided on a theory they agree with and supported it with details from the text. They then got the chance to respond to the theories of others. We're also going to study a few debatable topics and then build the strongest argument we can by finding evidence from a variety of texts that support our beliefs. These kids are passionate about what they believe and they want to be heard. I love watching them work hard to support their opinion! We'll be using a cool resource to find texts about these debatable issues. www.commonlit.org | |
