In Writers' Workshop, students applied what they already knew about making claims to help the talk about and write a thesis statement (claim + reasons). We used the "fork strategy" to help us create a claim and supporting reasons (see below). For the next few weeks, students will write literary essays. Tonight, students need to decided on the fictional book they'll write about for their first essay.
