In reading, we wrapped up a unit on poetry. Last week, Mr. Dingman came to our classroom to deliver a lesson on William Carlos Williams and how poets gain inspiration for their work. As a culminating assignment for the unit, students wrote their own poems.
In science, we continue to study structures of life. Most recently, we have been studying plant life cycles.
We've begun a new integrated social studies and reading unit on the American Revolution. This week, we defined the term "colony" and learned about the wide influence of the British Empire.
In writing, we continue our persuasive essay unit with petitions. Students are working on persuasive techniques, such as crafting strong counterarguments.
