Literature Assignment (Gold Day):
Today we will begin reading an excerpt from the novel Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. This can be found in our literature textbook on pp. 50-86. Because we will spend most of the morning on state testing, our class schedule will be somewhat uncertain today. If you are working from home, please read pp. 50-66 and complete #1-7 on the study guide at the link below. Be sure to check this blog and your email for updates on our schedule. Writing Assignment (from Monday, April 26): We are writing a creative short story using "story starters." Yesterday, students drew out of a grab bag several items that they must use in their story: two character names, an important object, and a setting. Students then viewed and chose one image from a total of 24 different images to use an illustration for their story. Requirements and images are at the link below. If you are working from home and eligible for eLearning, check your email for a Google Meet invitation for Wednesday, April 28. We can draw your items at that time, and you can ask questions about the assignment. As always, please email me with any questions you might have. Comments are closed.
