Technology Tuesday!

Without any discussion, students chose an invention he/she believed to be the best of all time. They had to include one reason to support their choice. We shared our ideas, then used our post-it to guide our writing lesson. On Tuesday, we wrote 5 reasons that support our claim that the chosen invention is, in fact, the best invention of all time. We will also work on reasons that disprove our claim. Then we will form an opinion, and write a final paragraph justifying our claim.
