Extra HW for Tuesday Night!!!

Today the kids chose a memoir piece from their writing journals that they'd like to publish.We spent some time walking around the room telling this story to others in the class. The kids then took about twenty minutes to make a timeline of the events of the story. I modeled this for them before asking them to do their own. Most finished this in class. A few did not. I'm asking everyone to bring these timelines home tonight and use them to tell you the story. I've asked them to work at making it as long as possible. Please take a few minutes to listen to their story and to look over their timeline. If your child did not finish the timeline in class please give them the opportunity to do so at home. We will need all these timelines back in the classroom tomorrow so we can begin drafting.
