Journal check on Wednesday!
I'll look at your whole journal, but I'll be particularly interested in:
1. Your original myth. (I gave you Demeter and Persephone, and then you
created your own myth that explained the unexplainable to the ancient
Greeks.)
2. Your book review. Page 946 was an excellent resource.
3. Today’s work with descriptive writing (period 1 only)
Also:
Bring in a sheet of paper tomorrow with the author and title of your
selected book. If it is NOT on the PGCPS or ALA book lists, then have a
parent or guardian sign that it is okay.
