I hope everyone had a beautiful week-end! 

A few notes before we begin the week...

This week, we will be revisiting our essential question..."How do we decide who we are?"   We will also revisit elements of plot (Freytag's Pyramid) as we identify exposition, inciting incident, and rising action together.  We will construct the story map together in class. We will also be reviewing the art of the essay! There will be a test on Friday for Part 1. The students will continue choosing their own vocabulary this week.  I will keep you posted!

Grammar finds us discussing linking verbs, helping verbs, and adjectives.  The standards I expect to hit are Language #1 and #2 and Reading Literature #3.

**I am available for extra help at 7:30 A.M.  You just need to tell me you are coming!!

**Just a quick note:
The students have done an awesome job with "Booktalks"!!!!  I am so proud of them.  I will remind them that they can present at any time during the month.  We discussed many different options for this project:  Written report, I-movie, Trailer, Acting like a character, Diorama, Poster...etc.  Just have fun boys and girls!!

Enjoy the week!
