Mr. Hamilton's 6th Grade ELA

Term 2: Chew on This!

Our students are learning about informational text and how it connects to their daily lives. While reading our new novel, Chew on This, the students are learning the ins and outs of the fast food business. We are using context clues to search out propaganda strategies, and learning that children have a huge power over the fast food and advertising companies. We will be also delving into positive and negative persuasive tactics, and how to use them properly. Our students are already making text to life comparisons from what they are reading about... awesome!

Take me to the homework!

"NO EXCUSES, PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION! Whether you WIN or LOSE, if you TRY your best... you ARE a CHAMPION!"
