Plan for Wednesday, May 9


Mini Lesson/Daily Language Review
EasyBib and Checklist

Objectives
In this unit readers will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different mediums to present a particular topic or idea. Writers will generate questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration, and conduct research, gathering information from multiple print and digital sources in order to write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. Students will then present claims and findings, integrating multimedia and visual displays into presentations in order to clarify information and add interest.
