We finished working through the article called, "Trick or Treat" today, summarizing the main ideas as we went along. We talked about how information such as statistics or quotations from individuals were too specific to be considered main ideas, and so we left these details out. We ended up with a short list of points as a summary of the entire article.
Then, using a graphic organizer titled, "Seeing Both Sides," we responded to the question, "Should trick-or-treating be cancelled?" with examples from the article. We listed four or five points for each side, and then added a few ideas of our own. We discussed that the Seeing Both Sides graphic organizer is good for preparation for a debate, or as an outline for a persuasive paragraph.
And then we had some chocolate treats.
