      Listen to the Metaphor mentor book by Wilfred Gordon McDonald Patridge - Did you notice how the author creatively used metaphors to help the reader understand what memory means? Listen to the book again and see if you can catch all the metaphors... Did you notice that the book is one big extended metaphor?

      Remember that similes and metaphors both compare two unlikely things. The difference is that similes use "like" or "as" to make the comparison, whereas metaphors do not.  Watch this YouTube to help you remember the difference.

       

      Then create a simile and metaphor poem about yourself, and share it with me.

      Write 5 different similes about yourself. Here is one example:

      When it’s time for dinner, I’m as hungry as a tiger!

      Then, change your similes into metaphors. Your example might look like this:

      Last night at dinner, I was a tiger attacking my food!

       

      Help thinking of metaphors:  Metaphor creator (scroll downward)

                           6 Paragraph Claim Paper
       
      Intro:  Bring! Bring! Bring! The phone rings in the middle of class. Everyone
      looks around but no one claims the phone. Precious learning moments are lost trying to 
      track down the ringing phone in the classroom. Claim:  School students should not have cell phones in school because they do not need them, it distracts them from what is important, and they learn poor communication skills.
       
      Opposition:  Now I am sure teenagers will not agree with my assessment of cell phones. They may claim ...
       
      Conclusion: In conclusion, it is not necessary for students to have phones in school because they are not used for educational purposes, they tend to get distracted with the ability to use the internet, play games, and chat with friends, and finally, their texting skills ...
       
       
      Paragraph 1 - Intro/Lead with Claim
       
      Paragraph 2 - Evidence 1 (PEEL - Point/Reason 1, Support with evidence or examples, explain the evidence, link to the next point/transitions)
       
      Paragraph 3 - Evidence 2 (PEEL - Point/Reason 2, Support with evidence or examples, explain the evidence, link to the next point/transition)
       
      Paragraph 4 - Evidence 3 (PEEL - Point/Reason 3, Support with evidence or examples, explain the evidence, link to the next point/transition)
       
      Paragraph 5 - Opposition/Counter Claim - What the other side thinks, and Rebuttal (why their reasoning is weaker than yours).
       
      Paragraph 6 - Conclusion - Restate the claim and summarize the arguments.

      5th Grade – Argument/ Debate Topics

      Arguementative Graphic Organizer

       

      Choose a topic below.  Research it by becoming an expert on the points of view of both sides of the argument (create a Venn Diagram on your topic to help you).  Choose a side to write your piece about, but remember to include the thinking of the other side so you can refute or acknowledge their point of view in your piece.  Remember to start with a strong lead and end with a strong conclusion.

       

      The links below will provide a variety or resources for conducting research to support arguing debatable issues. 

      There are many resources on the web, as well as those included on the Virtual Library. As you examine each topic, be sure to read deeply on the topic. Good researchers think about what all of our resources might be teaching us. What are we learning? Can our research be organized into subtopics, categories, points or main ideas? 

      In addition to these information sites, you can use KidRex and IConn to locate additional sites as needed.
