Today, we performed skits to review vocab (Quiz is Monday). We then did a bell ringer, which was a 15-word sentence about WAR. After that, we looked at a picture of a man leaning against the Vietnam Memorial. Assignment: write EITHER a poem (10-15 words) OR a short story (one-two pages) that include THREE vocab words that accompany the picture. Due Friday!

Tuesday is more editing with papers and Unit 10 quiz. Wed is library to type corrections. Thursday is paper due date!
