I hope everyone had a nice long break. We have just finished reading "The Outsiders" and it seemed that many students truly enjoyed the book. Our next unit must move on quickly as we have a deadline. Please be expecting homework from your students these next 2 weeks. We will be writing personal narratives (personal stories). These stories will be put into books and sent off to have them bound. Our deadline to have those in the mail is Oct. 30. For this reason will be working through this unit faster then I would like.
