Unit 3: Forming and Supporting Claims
Warm-Up:
10 Minutes of independent reading
Update Reading Log
Mini-Lesson:
Today we will learn how to present claims and conclusions formed about a topic by participating in a text-based discussion on Abby Sunderland so that we can be able to articulate and defend positions, consider different points of view, and enlist and evaluate evidence.

Guiding Question: Can parents go too far in supporting their children’s dreams of extreme adventures?
Class Work:
We’ll know we have it when we’ve contributed several comments and or questions to the conversation. Our comments will:
  • Be focused on the major ideas of the topic in a way that improves coherence,
  • Add relevant descriptions, details, facts and examples to the conversation, and
  • Be presented with appropriate eye-contact, voice volume and pronunciation.
Homework:
30 Minutes of independent reading on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Update your reading log.
OMG Fact:
The opposite sides of dice always add up to seven.
