I would name my zoo because I forgot to name my zoo.

Editorial Reflection

1. the most important thing I learned about writing editorials is: persuading the readers and my counter argument.

2. one important thing I learned about researching a topic is: that you need evidence to support your topic.

3. what advice would you give writers who are trying to argue a point or persuade their readers
to think as they do? List at least two tips:

tell them to write a thesis statement.
tell them to write a counter argument

Reflecting on Student led conferences

How do you feel about your student-led conferences?
I felt good because I was comfortable talking with my parents in front of my teacher.

Have you thought about things you might be doing differently based upon student-led conference?
I might speak a little louder because I was a little quiet. In math I need to continue checking my work. In reading I want to work on writing longer reader’s responses.

Is there anything that you feel like you didn’t get to say at your student-led conference?
I forgot to ask them if they had any questions but thats it?

How does it feel to be in charge of a conference? Do you like it? why or why not?
It feels good to be in charge and I kind of like it because I get to talk about what things I have done well in and what things I have to work in school and I think its fun that the student gets to come with there parent.
