Literature and pronouns!

We conclude our study of The Giver this week and continue our pronoun unit in grammar. On Friday, we celebrate the visual and performing arts by learning about an artist and experiencing how he integrates all academic areas of study into his work. Friday is a half-day for students (but not for me!). Feel free to bring a snack, but you won't need your backpack.

Day 1: Final discussion on The Giver. Practice for novel test. If we have time, we will write the letters for our bookmark project.
Day 2: Short answer test on the novel (open note/open book/NOT open computer)
Day 3: Pronouns - antecedents, agreement with indefinite pronouns
Day 4: Celebration of the Arts day!

Homework:
- Make sure your annotations are accurate and complete.
- Membean 45 minutes by Sunday night, study roots units 1,2,3,4 and especially 5.
- Journal entry due Friday. If you completed this in class before Charleston, you do NOT need to do it on Google Classroom.
