WRITING WEEK 9

WRITING WEEK 9

I have good news and great news.

GOOD NEWS

Many of you did an amazing job on the income and wealth activity. Really well done.

You found the main idea: the higher the income, the longer the life span.

You also described some possible cause and effect links that could explain why/how income is correlated with life span.

Some examples include:

• better health care (e.g. hospitals, doctors, medicine, health insurance)
• education
• diet
• less stress

GREAT NEWS

Let's do more.

We move into the world of arguments.

Zoom meeting 

(This Zoom message is repeated on the Listening Lesson plan)

Got a question?

I'll be sitting in the Zoom room watching the digital tide roll away. Come by your Listening Period on Wednesday.

You know books?

Which famous writer began a novel with these lines?

Maman died today. 
Or yesterday maybe, I don't know.

The answer (and a free ebook).

Part 1 Correlations

What is a correlation? Get the answer to that question in this mini-lesson.

Part 2 Cause and Effect

Correlation is not causation. That is your mantra. Learn the difference in this mini-lesson.

A fine example of scaffolding, this writing assignment builds on the knowledge and skills you gathered in parts 1 and 2.

There is only one writing assignment this week. 

Can you guess why?

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And never stops - at all -
