Update on 4th Grade Writing

Students are exploring the world of opinion/persuasive writing, beginning with writing a friendly letter on a topic they are passionate about.  Some of these letters have been addressed to parents - so look for them to come home!   We had quite a variety of topics!   We have explored the importance of understanding different perspectives, as well as determining who our audience will be.  Next week, we'll pick a different topic, explore pros and cons, and write an opinion essay.
