Jackets for Books?


Why would books need jackets in this beautiful weather? (haha) Today, we began a final project in lieu of a book report for our novel. We began creating book jackets, filled with key information about The Wednesday Wars. The cover will depict an important scene, the inside flaps - a summary, including information about the setting, plot, climax, and resolution, key information about characters and their roles. The back will include ten unforgettable quotes. We were able to get a good start on our work, and we took the final AR test for the novel.

In Social Studies, we explored maps and information about natural resources found in Europe and Russia, as well as how they are put to use. We are wrapping up our work with the chapter.

Homework:
Reading - Book jacket is due this Friday.
Social Studies - Pg. 29, question 1,3,4,5
Science - What can you do with a field of corn? Answer in complete sentences and site evidence.
Long-term - Math board game is due on March 27th.
Wellness - DARE work is due this Wednesday. Chapter 4, Lesson 3 outline due next Monday.
