At Last!

I am finally getting my blog up and running! I will keep this as updated as I can with information about assignments, quizzes, and other important goings-on for the rest of the school year. The first assignment to be listed is as follows:

Compose an ending to "A Retrieved Reformation," by O. Henry, that describes what happens next. Write in complete sentences (a story format) for about half a page. Due 11/4 (A) or 11/5 (B).

Don't forget to complete 30 minutes of Compass Odyssey weekly and begin to get into the habit of reading nightly. We will start monitoring how many books we read in the near future.

Also, a quiz is coming soon! Start refreshing your memories on points of view, internal vs. external conflict, main vs. minor characters, and inferences.
