Students in Mrs. Vala's classes will be researching the costs and benefits of recess breaks during the school day. Is recess an important part of the school day? Students will gather text evidence, combined with their own thinking, to support their opinions about recess. Students will work with a partner to write a five paragraph essay that supports their opinion. They will use Google Docs/Google Classroom to share their papers with specialists at the district office. We will then use Google Hangouts (similar to Skype or Facetime) to have a realtime conversation with our specialists to see if our Fantastic Fourthies can give enough evidence to convince them of their position.
