This week we are finishing our Reading Log for the short story "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros. We are also beginning our official work of analyzing informational and literary texts. This unit's texts will all be centered on the topic of immigration. We will begin with a discussion, read several texts along the way including The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez, and later close the unit with the same discussion questions to see how our ideas have changed.
Our Skill of the Week is using apostrophes to show contractions.
Homework: Please be sure to finish typing the Reading Log on "Eleven." It is due Thursday, September 18.
