We are finishing up writing Persuasive Letters and Biographical Sketches this week. Here's what you need to do:
Grade 7:
Persuasive Letter-
1. Make final corrections to your persuasive letter. Ms. Casassa should have seen it and corrected it twice! You want your letter to be error free. You are trying to make a good impression and persuade your reader to agree to your suggestions!
2. Print 2 final copies
3. Hand in all drafts, graphic organizers and copies of your Persuasive letter (put them in the bin).
4. Put your letter in your addresses envelop, put on a stamp, put letter in the bin!
Poetry-
1. Look at the different types of poetry you can write on this site: Poetry for Kids. Check out this site for ideas on how to write poems as well: Creative Writing Now!
2. Choose 2-3 types of poems and write one of your own. Be sure to follow their model. All of these poems have a specific structure. You may write your 1st drafts in your R/W Notebook or on Google Drive (share with me).
Grade 8:
Biographical Sketch
1. Make final corrections to your Biographical Sketch. Ms. Casassa
should have seen it and corrected it twice! You want your essay to be
error free. Remember you should be revising for sentence fluency on this piece.
2. Create a Bibliography--Your bibliography should be on a separate page. Type and center the title Bibliography on top of page. You need to include all the sites you used for research. EBSCOhost can provide its own citation information. Click here to use EasyBib
