Tuesday in ELA

Today was all about unpacking and modeling the PBA for unit 4A.  We watched videos about how to do an Introduction, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusions.  We also modeled writing one of each with one of the texts we used in class.  Now the students are showing what they learned and doing their assessment piece.

Students had over an hour in class to work on their planning documents.  The ONLY homework tonight is to take their planning documents and make their first draft on yellow drafting paper, skipping lines so they can revise and edit tomorrow before writing their final draft.
