Goal

This goal will benefit students in three third grade classrooms. The goal for students is for them to be enthusiastic about their purpose for reading and writing, as they create an opinion paper that will use text-supported evidence to support their opinion as to which animal would win in a battle.  

 

What will be done with my students

Each "Who will win it?" book focuses on two animals, gives facts about each animal, and these facts will help students decide which animal would win in a battle based on the supporting evidence. Students will choose a book of their liking, and partner up with another student to read together. After the reading, students will choose, based on the facts in the story, the animal that they think will be the winner of a battle. They will have to take notes on their reading, and then write a opinion paper about which animal they think the victor would be, and why. After their task, students will find out who the victor is in the author's opinion! 

 

Benefits to my students

Engagement is a key factor is what motivates children to learn and be successful. This activity sets a reading and writing purpose that will engage the students and will motivate them to want to read, and to want to write as well! Some benefits to my students will be: comprehension of non-fiction text, comparing and contrasting, note-taking, paraphrasing, writing, editing, revising, and publishing.
