This week's lesson focuses on understanding pronouns, including possessive and indefinite forms, culminating in a test on Thursday. Students will also engage in persuasive writing, exploring philosophical discussions around video games' impacts on youth, family, and education. Collaborative activities such as propaganda analysis and interviews will help develop critical thinking skills. Warm-up exercises will guide students in practicing their pronouns and persuasive techniques while using literature texts for deeper understanding. Students are encouraged to express their ideas clearly and supportively in group discussions.
