We shared our persuasive essays about the type of community we think you should live in. We also shared our community dioramas.
Our essays were put into the three categories. Someone interested in just one community could read lots of essays on that community type by coming over to that writing table. After reading our facts and persuasive reasons, parents, friends, and peers commented and praised our work. It was so great to see all of the comments!
Our visitors also came in to see our dioramas. After looking at what we made, they read our clues that we typed on the computer. The clues told our visitors what was in our diorama. Then, after guessing whether it was an urban, a rural, or a suburban community, you could check to see if you were right by flipping up the flap.
Lots of visitors came to see our social studies work today! Many parents and siblings came as well as the other second grade class at EVCS.
Dioramas are going home today so that they can be shared with more family members and friends. If you'd like a copy of your child's writing, let me know - but for now they will be displayed in our classroom for more of our friends here to read!
