Opening/Warmup/Connecting Prior Knowledge
A. Reviewing Learning Targets and Teacher Feedback (5 minutes)
• Discuss the learning targets for today, paying particular attention to conclude and conclusion. Students know the prefix con from the word confederacy they examined earlier in this module. Tell them clud is “to close.” A conclusion brings thoughts together and closes a piece of writing.
• Remind students how important it is for them to learn from feedback, especially when they are practicing their writing. Ask them to read the comments you have made on their draft paragraphs. During work time today, they should follow the suggestions made. Encourage them to ask questions during work time if they do not understand the feedback.
