Students worked on putting their thoughts into a graphic organizer and then organizing those thoughts and adding details to write at least 4 paragraphs that would answer the question. It is a big job, but I was so impressed by what the students can do!
We are still practicing our learning target of comparing two stories and supporting our opinion with examples from each book. This time, after reading Emma Kate and My Friend John, students were asked to respond to this prompt: Some people would say that Emma Kate and John know how to be a good friend. Would you agree or disagree? Support your answer with examples and details from the stories. Students worked on putting their thoughts into a graphic organizer and then organizing those thoughts and adding details to write at least 4 paragraphs that would answer the question. It is a big job, but I was so impressed by what the students can do! Students know that their responses must include the titles of both books, their opinion, at least 3 examples that support their opinion and a conclusion. When students get their work returned to them, they can expect this feedback pictured below to let them know how they did. This is the organizer that students fill out to help them with their answer to the question. Students then took their ideas from their organizer and turned them into paragraphs by adding detail Here is a wonderful example of a completed response!
