Homework: 11/3

As we have been working hard at our narrative writing, we have been developing many useful storytelling skills. We will continue this journey next week, and we will culminate this unit in a post-test writing exam, which will assess our newly developed skills.

For Monday, please bring in your "Smell Game" chart, so that we may discuss it together.


HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! GO DUKES!
