Thursday, May 10th

I'm away for a meeting this afternoon.

So.... here are the three things you have to do while I'm gone.

1) Silent Reading - you should be 3/4 of the way through the novel by next Wednesday.

2) Finish the Poem we started to discuss at the end of class yesterday.

3) Select ONE term from the list below and begin to create an 8.5 x 14 poster to put on the side bulletin boards. You poster needs to include the term in bold, large letters, a definition, an example and an image that is somehow related. Today you can just plan, tomorrow I will get you some computer time to print out and put it up.
