IF you would like your own paperback copy of the novel The Hobbit (summer reading for Honors ELA. ( the 1st book you will read in Q1 for standard ELA), we have found the cheapest place to buy is the Teacher Store through Scholastic. Please send a check for $6.86 made out to Scholastic. We will order Wednesday evening and have them here next week. The last week of school, I plan to help them set up a chart to record evidence and begin reading it with them to help them get a head start.

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street - test
Due:
Assignment
Assignment is to be typed (double spaced Times New Roman font 12 point font please) in either Word or Pages and submitted to the spot for it in Schoology. After reading the excerpt from A Wrinkle in Time, continue the narrative from where it ended. What happens next? Be sure to use elements of the setting, plot, and characters you observed in the excerpt. Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, and description when appropriate, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters. Don't forget to keep the same point of view, charactertistics and character traits presented in the excerpt. Remember IF you have read the book or seen the movie, do NOT use the book or movie's version of what happened in the story; that would be plagarism and result in a grade of 0/F. Use your own imagination following the qualities needed for a narrative write.
