Assignments

3-7-11 to - 3 - 17- 11 We are currently taking ISAT tests. When not testing, we are watching the movie, //Romeo and Juliet.// We will read a parody entitled "//Romeow and Drooliet"//. Students are to pick a fairy tale and write a parody of that tale. They will then be assigned to a group to make a reader's theater of one of the parodies. They will perform the reader's theaters next week.
