Room 11's Class Blog: Early Dismissal Tomorrow

In Readers' Workshop, students read with "lenses" to skim articles and look for evidence that supports their claim. With their imaginary glasses on, they looked for shocking facts/ really persuasive parts, this is their supportive evidence. We cut out our evidence and attached it to our claim. We talked about how our evidence needs to MATCH our claim, comparing it to matching shoes with our outfits. You can support at home by asking your child to make a claim (their opinion about a topic, idea, etc.) and have them identify evidence that matches. For example, ask if students should have homework. Have them make a claim ("Students should/ should not have homework.") and encourage them to come up with evidence/ a reason.
