Instruction
Students will look at a checklist that will help them write conclusions. The steps include: "Begin with a conclusion sentence starter," "Restate your opinion," "Reiterate your main reasons," and "Offer a solution or suggestion." They will read an example of a conclusion that meets the checklist criteria.
They will read a passage about how cell phones are a vital part of life and determine the author's opinion, the reasons used to support the opinion, and the reader's opinion. Next, they will read two conclusions and pick the one that relates to the author's opinion and reasons. They will do a similar activity with a passage about recess.
