May 15-19

Monday:  We read the short story “The Japanese Quince” as a class and analyzed the story through our 9 panel notes.  We shared student examples of creative endings to stories, and we will be working on writing a strong ending in our writing assignment for tomorrow.

Homework: Spelling test and spelling homework tomorrow

Tuesday:  We took a spelling test, wrote down strong ending ideas, and we started writing a creative short story.  The theme of the story is conformity vs individuality.  It needs to be two pages long.  I will give extra credit for writing more than that.

Homework: 2 page writing is due Thursday
