Book Reviews

Okay, you've done these before. Here's my greatest piece of advice: More of your opinion and less summary. If you haven't finished the book and don't talk about specific things that happened in the story, I you haven't really shared your opinion. If you say it was a cool adventure, I can say that about almost any book. I want you to talk about what parts of the adventure in that book that you thought were really cool. 

The picture here is the same as the chart in the back of the room. Remember, each box is one paragraph, but you can also change them as necessary. 

You can look at my examples HERE.

Stations

If you need any of the table resources, you can find them digitally by clicking HERE, or by looking at the resource I have added to the actual assignment in Google Classroom.

Those are due, but they will not go on this quarter's grade.

Other Catch-Up Work

Here are your choices:

1. Revise your ELA Journal and submit revision requests
2. Revise your book reviews or your Hatchet essays and submit revision requests.
3. Finish any missing Typing.com or No Red Ink assignments.
4. Finish your Stations.
5. READ.

There are no other choices. You will lose your computer if you are not using it appropriately. You will not receive a warning.
