    Look at your Reader's Source Book. We plotted where Sgt. Locke was on the 'dishonorable---honorable' semantic scale in class. You have to draw semantic scales for the character traits on today's blog for Sergeant Locke, and different semantic scales for Manny.

    Hi Ashley. I hope you are feeling better. Read on in your Paulsen book. We were revising our homework paragraphs on Manny or Sergeant Locke. If you handed in your paragraph, you'll have to revise it on Monday. See you Monday.
