H Ms.Varga what was the work we did durning the working period
Hi Michelle. We worked on finding the one theme that relates to all three Katherine Paterson books. You need to revise and edit in your Writer's Source Book: the introduction, the 3 book summaries, the paragraph that addresses Katherine Paterson's signatures, the paragraph that addresses her theme - and lesson you learned, and the conclusion. Then, you have to rewrite the whole letter on loose leaf. I hope your foot is better.
