Tuesday, October 21st

Lesson Objectives - Students will create and share visual representations of vocabulary words that will help them learn their fourth and final unit of the marking period. They will then continue their study of characterization with the short story, "My Favorite Chaperone." This is one of the models we will use when students develop and write their own personal narratives for the next Performance Task.
Homework - Students should continue reading their October RRS book and prepare for tomorrow's quiz on the story.
