This week in Language Arts, students will learn about and begin writing a comparison essay. We recently completed reading the book Tuck Everlasting. We then watched the Disney version of the same story. Students will now write about the similarities and differences they identified. Students will write their essays at school. They are expected to use the writing process to write and edit their essay. We will also have short lessons reviewing the use of context clues in reading to identify the meanings of unknown words. Students should expect a short quiz on Thursday to assess their skills.
