Language Arts:
  Today we created a "free write" journal entry in our purple notebook.  We "elevated" two words in our writing.  Any questions students had about the genealogy project were answered and several examples were shown.  We read "the Secret" by Arthur C. Clarke.

  Homework:
Fairy tale, myth, fantasy book report choices:  PICK ONE.
   1.  Six box cartoon telling the story
   2.  Pop up setting
   3.  Your book is being made into a movie.  Write a press release introducing the movie to the public and draw a movie poster (8 1/2 x 11).  (some students asked if the press release could be on video, Yes)

Genealogy research -- your graphic organizer showing your family & what design you want to use --  and -- your draft of the biography of one relative (two for extra credit) is due 1/9/15.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Relax, clean and organize your binder and your folders, sleep in, and help your parents around the house!
