Important Points in the Lesson Itself

  • To support ELLs, this lesson follows a similar pattern to Lessons 3 and 4 with scaffolded tasks that guide students from analysis of a model to their own collaborative writing. The repeated steps of analyzing a model essay, both within this unit and across modules, supports ELLs by clarifying expectations and reducing the cognitive overload that comes from learning new tasks. Another Mini Language Dive also supports ELLs by providing opportunities to practice weaving textual evidence into their argument essays.
  • ELLs may find it challenging to effectively embed quotes as evidence to support the reasons they name in their Proof Paragraphs, as this requires a sophisticated understanding of grammatical and orthographic rules. The lesson's Mini Language Dive offers a scaffolded opportunity for students to practice quoting the text and embedding partial quotes into their essays. Review students' work throughout the Mini Language Dive and during the construction of their own essays to ensure that they are selecting meaningful quotes and inserting them effectively into their own Proof Paragraphs.
