Hi everyone!

We had a busy day today! Thank you for being on-task and cooperative. We discussed the editing sheet from yesterday and what students had overlooked in their narratives during their first editing process. Students also finished their group theme activity. If you completed the theme packet from yesterday, please hold onto that in your binder. After that, as a group we read our next mentor text for argument writing. We discovered the story has a unique narrator...she may be small, but she is tough!

Need the Editing checklist for the Personal Narrative? Look under "links."

**Tomorrow is picture re-take and the last day to order a yearbook at a discount.

H/W:

  • Reread "Raymond's Run," but don't go past the part that we reached today.
  • Underline and annotate (write in the margin) when you discover something new about your character. You will need to make inferences for this. Underline the details, and then write an inference in the margin.
  • If you have a tab divider, please bring it in. Don't worry if you don't have one.
  • PERIOD 1: Remember canned food! This also includes boxed or plastic containers
Have a great evening!
