Essay! (Composition)

Hi class,

I know Google Documents can seem confusing, but don't give up! We will get through this together!

If you're struggling with this, try using a computer -- not an iPad, tablet, or iPhone. Computers seem to work better with google docs! We will work on this tomorrow.

Once you have your introduction and body paragraphs in your Google Docs, send me the link below.

Extensive Reading Project #3 (Reading)

This week's project is a fun one! Choose a character in your book and write him/her a letter. What questions do you have for this character? What advice do you have for this character? Lastly, share something you have in common with the character. Even if this character is very different from you, maybe you have struggled with the same challenges. Maybe you have had a similar experience in life, or maybe you have similar interests.

Write your letter and post it to your blog! Send me the permalink below in the comments...
