LAST WEEK…
Students continued to work on composing text using a variety of sentence structures. They took one of their previous writing assignments and labeled each sentence (simple, compound, complex & compound/complex) using different colored markers. This enabled them to see what sentence structures they are using most often. They then revised those papers to create a better balance of sentence structures (to add variety and interest to their writing).
The weekly writing assignment this week was directly tied to learning goal 6.3 (informative writing). Students scored their papers using the informative writing scoring guide and identified where they incorporated informative features.
