It’s Time to Write!!! There have been several changes in writing this year from last year, and today we are going to talk about those changes!!

Last year... You read two non-fiction texts and wrote an essay (narrative, expository or persuasive) using evidence from both the texts in your essays.

This year brings new things!! You will TYPE two essays this year in February, in a set time period, just like the 8 th graders ( you will have approximately 2 and a half hrs.). The texts will be Science or Social Studies based. The first essay will be an analytical summary of the text. The second essay will cover information from all texts. The essays will be informational/explanatory and argument essays. What does information/explanatory mean to you? What does argument mean to you? What does compare/contrast mean to you?

Types of Writing Argument essay-An argument is a reasoned, logical way of demonstrating that the writer’s position, belief, or conclusion is valid. Explanatory/Informative -expresses information accurately. This kind of writing serves one or more closely related purposes: to increase readers’ knowledge of a subject, to help readers better understand a procedure or process, or to provide readers with an enhanced comprehension of a concept …IT EXPLAINS

Types of Writing Compare/Contrast- you focus on the ways in which certain things or ideas—usually two of them—are similar to (this is the comparison) and/or different from (this is the contrast) one another. This encourages you to make connections between texts or ideas, engage in critical thinking, and go beyond mere description or summary to generate interesting analysis. When you reflect on similarities and differences, you gain a deeper understanding of the items you are comparing, their relationship to each other, and what is most important about them.
