In language arts, we'll be launching into our unit on persuasion. We'll examine various strategies of rhetoric (ethos, logos, pathos), discuss and debate a variety of issues, and read some example of persuasive writing. Students will compose argumentative essays. Here's a link to the packet that will guide students through this Argumentative Essay.
On Wednesday March 9th through Friday, March 11th, students will have an opportunity to visit the Alaska State Legislature. I'm so excited for this opportunity for students; it's a great way to cap off our recent in-depth study of the United States Constitution. Different advisories will visit the capitol building each day; my advisory will visit on Friday, March 11th. In addition, we'll be taking a trip to the skating rink on Wednesday, March 9th. Look for permission slips to come home this weekend!
In history, we'll be moving into an examination of how industrialization and westward expansion affected various groups of people. We'll read a chapter in Adventure Tales of America and answer these questions. We'll study the Trail of Tears and begin the work for this project.
