Language Arts –
- Good copies of personal narratives – complete all edits (I will try to send pictures of your narrative with edits for those who requested online work and not a package). I hope you know your Office 365 account info … if you don’t, get your parents to email me and I can send it to them.
* * Make sure you have an amazing and interesting title, not just “My Trip to …” or “My Pet Hamster”
** Create a Title Page with drawings if you’d like (and don’t forget your name! Like…your actual name…not just “my name”…😉) – you can do this by hand or on the computer
** Share your GOOD COPY with me once you are done! - Complete the TWO “Compare and Contrast” activities (see link below)… One is about brothers (1 page) and the other is about a fire in 1911 (3-pages).
- Read the articles and answer the questions
- Then choose one of the topics to write about (brothers or the fire) and write a paragraph with complete sentences that shares similarities as well as differences. Send this to me over Office 365.
