Language Arts

This week, students will analyze two sample arguments, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. They will then craft a 15-minute rough draft argument on a chosen prompt. Advanced Language Arts will revisit last week’s women’s suffrage speech, compare it to an opposing argument, and evaluate evidence, audience, tone, word choice, and connotation. Language Arts will compare two arguments on honesty in social media and present their findings. These activities will enhance critical thinking, persuasive writing, and rhetorical analysis skills.

The Earth’s Place in Space Quiz is on Tuesday, Feb. 3 and the study guide was handed out in class on Friday. Retakes of the Natural Selection CER will be during block class this week. Students who didn’t earn a “4” on the claim, evidence, or reasoning will have the option of retaking those parts of the CER.
