SENIORS: Add this writing assignment to your notebook: Pretend you are your favorite animal and follow it from sun-up to sun-down.  Use sense imagery (the five senses).  What does your favorite animal see? hear? taste? touch? smell?  After that, think about an animal that would be the opposite of your favorite and do the same all over again.  For example, if your favorite animal is an elephant, the opposite could be an ant or a lion.  Also, start brainstorming ideas for your book; it's time to figure out things such as, will you write a fictional story or an informational book?  Will your illustrations be drawn by hand or found on the internet?

SOPHOMORES: We began reading NIGHT by Elie Wiesel; we got through the preface and the foreword, pulling information and asking questions through the use of Cornell Notes.  Make sure you bring your copy of NIGHT with you to class every day.
