A Peek at Next Week 9/21/07

In Language Arts we will begin to write narratives. Students will write about the most important people in their lives, and will be creating a timeline of their life. We will also go over the parts of a narrative and plan out our writing. The first draft of our essay will be due on Friday, September 28th. The final drafts will be due on either Wednesday, 10/3, or Thursday, 10/4.

We will also be reading "Names/Nombres", by Julia Alvarez. Students will read the personal essay, and then they will be researching their heritage and the origins of their names.
