READING

Introduction

We will be reviewing first/second hand accounts. As readers of informational text, we have to decide whether the text we are reading is a first hand or second hand account.

A first hand account is a person who experienced what happened directly. They were a witness to the action.

Is this firsthand account? How can you tell?

WRITING

Introduction

Today, we will be writing our introduction and conclusion. In the prompt, there are three bullet points that have to do with introductions and conclusions. They are highlighted below.

EXTENDED WRITING-RESPONSE WRITING TASK

Some people think it is better to give than to receive. Other people think it is better to receive than to give.

Think about the ideas in the two passages. Then write an opinion piece that gives your opinion about which idea you think is better.

Be sure to use information from BOTH passages in your opinion piece.

Writer’s Checklist
Be sure to:
• Introduce your opinion.
• Support your opinion with reasons and details from the passages.
• Give your reasons and details in a clear order.
• Develop your ideas clearly and use your own words, except when quoting directly from the passages.
• Identify the passages by title or number when using details or facts directly from the passages.
• Use linking words, phrases, and clauses to connect reasons.
• Use clear language and vocabulary.
• Have a strong conclusion that supports your opinion.
• Check your work for correct usage, grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
