Week of 6/12/06
Greetings 634, 734, and 834. It is hard to believe we only have two more weeks before the summer vacation - and yet we have so much to do! 634, we have begun studying the 'vignette' as a genre study. We will be reading, analyzing, and mimicking Sandra Cisneros's vignettes in The House on Mango Street. 734, we will be continuing our mythical play presentations, as well as broadening our exposure to myths. By the end of this week, we will begin to write our own myths! 834, we are more than half way through with our Ray Bradbury Response to Literature. He is most certainly a unique author!

6/16/06
634: Complete your character sketch vignette in your sourcebook.
