6th Grade B day - Don't forget - the "make yourself a character" activity is due tomorrow, along with the paragraphs on "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" and "On Turning Ten."  For the paragraphs, you were to explain who the characters (narrators of the poems) are, as far as personality and emotions (or anything else you can get out of the poems).  Make sure you use support from the text!  For the homework that you will receive on Wednesday, please see "6th Grade A day," below.

6th Grade A day - You are to finish the Reader's Workshop (pages 176-181), making sure to answer all questions in complete sentences.

3A - You also need to read "Eleven" in the Literature book and answer the questions in the margins (A-E).  Then, you are to answer numbers 1-8 at the end of the story.

8th Grade - Don't forget to finish the character chart for "The Monkey's Paw" (due tomorrow).  Also, make sure you bring your Literature book to class tomorrow!  It will count as a grade.

Stay tuned for an extra credit opportunity!
