Hello!

If you were absent last Friday, please watch The Monsters are Due on Maple Street video. Find it under links. Be careful...it is easy to be on the wrong video.

Today I introduced complex sentence structure for students to use in their writing. There will be a quiz on this next week. We reviewed the elements of suspense we saw in the videos on Friday, and then students annotated their stories to make sure they had some of these in their mystery writing.

Remember - you will be sharing your story with a group of students on Wed. I am not necessarily collecting a final draft, but make sure your story is legible so your narration flows smoothly.

Have a good evening!
