I hope everyone is enjoying these last few days of summer vacation!
Please make sure to finish your Summer Reading book by the first day of school, Tuesday, August 6. We will use our first class periods together to discuss the books. During the second week of school, you will have an opportunity to write about your book and to share your thoughts about what you have read. Here are some additional things to think about as you finish your summer reading: 1. Do you admire the main character? Why or why not? 2. Which historical figures are present in the book? What role(s) do they play? 3. Which historical details interest you the most? Why? 4. What has this book taught you about the American Revolutionary War? I"m looking forward to our new year together!
