This week in language arts, we are writing personal narratives. Last week we brought in a picture that reminded us of an important experience, and that is the basis of the narrative. The typed rough draft is due on Wednesday and the final essay will be due on Tuesday, February 17th. There will be extra credit offered to those who get their narrative edited by an adult.
There is no vocabulary this week because I want the students focused on producing their essays.
