Day # 23 - 10/8/15 - Unit 1: Writing, Comparing & Contrasting a novel with a Film, 1st half of Freak the Mighty

Good Morning Sixth Graders,
          I hope you all are having a wonderful morning. We will continue to work with Mrs. Isham on narrative writing today. We will also watch the first half of Freak the Mighty to make comparisons with the novel. Please make sure you have all your materials for the morning. Use Scotch Tape to hang up your Frayer Model Poster on your locker. If you are not done, please finish it, then work on the point to ponder. 
                                     Thank you
                                     Mr. Trumble
