Remember to post your 3 gratitudes. We are experimenting to see if this makes our brain happy, therefore helping us work better. Today is day 10...11 more to go! HW Persuasive Writing: Following our discussion today about 'fitting in' and 'being who you are' and how media affects you, practice writing an introduction for homework. This should be about 5 sentences. Begin with a hook: (see POST info at bottom) You could ask a question, state a fact, tell a story, etc. Then elaborate: Give 3 general ideas that you are going to include about this topic. Then state your thesis: This statement expresses the main argument or opinion of your essay. It is your topic and opinion at the same time). Give it a try and we will share these tomorrow. Tomorrow is Drama and Maker space This is what we are currently using during Makerspace challenge. Writing: (Hook)POST We are learning how to write an effective persuasive essay. Here is a video with review on writing a hook. I especially like the comment at 8 min 9 sec. Pretend we are writing an introduction for an essay about How media affects you. POST a hook for this topic today. Try to be original. Here are two examples of grades 6s looking for angles in the school today!
Real life math!

hook: What is the impact of advertising and media today? According to studies 87% of teens from ages 12-15 go on the Internet on a regular bases. The average child with social media witnesses 40 000 advertisements per year. Images in the media have been linked to eating disorders because children feel like they need to be as skinny so they can look like supermodels. But why children need to be perfect just does not make sense.

Wow there are some great hooks to start with! I am so grateful that I have such thoughtful students who take an interest and care about their learning. I am also grateful for the technology we have. I sure notice it when the document reader doesn't work. I am also grateful for the support we receive in the school. Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Jensen are so supportive in finding the things we need in order to have the best educational experience at Hillcrest.
