Agenda:

This week, students are finalizing their fictional narratives as well as continuing to practice dialogue punctuation in the context of their writing. We are using clickers on Monday to review punctuation rules.

After break, students will be selecting a new novel to read from a collection of seven choices, and beginning a literature circle project with their chosen books. This project will culminate in a 'graphic novelette,' which is a comic storyboard showing the plot sequence, climax, and conflict resolution in the story using an online program called Comic Life.
