8th grade: Today in Language Arts-Writer's Workshop

Students turned in their Reading Folders for Week 2 today. After we return from break, our regular Reading Folder schedule will resume. I showed students how I made my outline from my research and did a mini-lesson and modeled for students how I was going to write my research paper now that I had my outline set up. I then taught students three ways that they can cite sources within a paper. Students took notes in their Writer's Notebooks and after several questions on this topic, students spent the remainder of the hour working on their research papers.

Homework: First draft on Native American topic Due Monday, December 1st.
