Announcements and Reminders
- We will be able to use the computer lab today, but you will have another assignment to work on, so try to be caught up.
- You will be able to quickly finish any editing on your Creativity Collage Collection and print.
Also, you will begin writing -- on your Kidblog -- a very short story. We will use a plot map, work on creating great characters and clear settings, using a variety of sentences, using figurative language, and choosing exact words. Be thinking of story ideas -- stories you could tell in one to two single-spaced pages. Publish it even if you are not finished. - There is a lovely valentine in the no-name basket. Please claim it if it is yours.
