Writing Lesson Reflection

To develop and differentiate our writing lesson, we decided to have our students write their persuasive letter in partners as this will be their first attempt at persuasive writing. It has been exciting planning and implementing this lesson because it truly is tying together so many different skills. Our students are practicing their research skills through the lens of SPEC + G in order to figure out the benefits of living in their colony. Then, they are writing a persuasive letter to a relative back home enticing them to come and join them in their colony. It has required a true collaboration of writing and social studies skills.
