A reminder about two other very important assignments…

Due Friday 10/22 Sign of the Beaver Journal (worth 50 pts)- We have been working on this in class for the past 2-3 weeks. I gave students and check off list, so they can be sure they have each of the journal assignments. I would encourage your child to bring this home to show you and go over it together.

Due Wednesday 10/20 Sign of the Beaver Essay Outline and Paragraph.

Last week we were working on a 5 paragraph essay outline for Sign of the Beaver. The outline needs to be completed. Then, students are to choose one part from the outline(intro, detail paragraph or conclusion) to write on a piece of binder paper, in paragraph form. Please check your child's work and sign your name (at the bottom of each piece of writing).
