"It's May! It's May! The lusty month of May..."

The title of the post is a line from a song written for Queen Guinevere from the musical "Camelot," which is alluded to in A Wrinkle in Time.

We will continue our unit on pronouns and begin our study of figurative language and creative writing. You will be turning in two copies of your Biome Project. One of the copies will be a written expression grade in language arts. I will be grading ONLY on grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling. PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD! Use the link Mrs. Healan gave you for assistance with dialogue.
