Emily led our community building activity to start class: the creation of a spiderweb that represents the connections we all have with one another. Each student was asked to share a little bit of information about him/herself, and then after sharing, he/she would toss a ball of yarn to someone else. As the ball unraveled and students held on to their respective spot on the string, a giant spiderweb was created. Thanks, Emily!
We then spent class time working on our persuasive paragraphs. Using the model paragraph we wrote together last week, students were asked to choose a topic that interested them, create a "Seeing Both Sides" outline, and then write a paragraph on that topic. We will continue working on these paragraphs next day.
