Week of 9/11-9/15

I will begin conferencing individually with each of you this week about your narratives.  We will be going a little more in-depth with conflict and plot and making sure that you are organizing your thoughts and writing.  We will also cover the first 5 chapters of Where the Red Fern Grows and discuss theme.  You will have a short multiple-choice quiz on Thursday to check for reading.
