Next 2 Weeks
As we are approaching Thanksgiving there are only 6 days of class left! During these next 2 weeks students will be introduced to a fairy tale/fable writing assignment. Students have the choice to work alone or with one partner. I will be explaining the assignment on Tuesday, but if you want to know more now - than take a look!
Classes have finished their first novels and it is time to "swap" books! Period 6 will be reading The Christopher Killer by Alane Ferguson and Period 8 will be reading After by Francine Prose. I hope the classes each enjoy their new read!
Don't forget - Accelerated Reader book reports are by 11/20. Read, read, read over these long weekends! I'm excited to say many students are already done! Nice Job!!!!
The next book check-out for book reports will be 11/19 - at this time I will also explain the book report assignment. Book reports will be due 12/18. This way students get a jump start on the reading while on Thanksgiving break and will have the book report complete before starting winter break.
As always, please don't hesitate to call and/or e-mail me with any questions and/or concerns!
