Analyzing argument is a majorfocus this week. Students are practicing identifying the types of evidence and reasoning in various argument articles this week. After they identify these, they are analyzing the soundness of the reasoning and relevance/ sufficiency of  the evidence.

We  are continuing to read Hidden Figures as well. Students are using this text to practice skills such as test taking strategies and analysis writing. By the end of the week, they will have finished reading 1-12.
