Language Arts

We are starting a Literature Circle unit in which students will pick a book to read with a small group. Most, if not all, of the reading will be done in class, but students may occasionally have some reading to do at home, depending upon the book their group chooses today. Ask them about the novel they are reading! Individual projects will be due after spring break, and I will give students information about this next week.

Students will write a short essay this week, due Friday, comparing and contrasting the effect of different media on the experience of a traditional tale (i.e. movie, storytelling, illustrated book)
