IT'S THURSDAY 7TH GRADE!!!
Today, we are going to begin a new fiction story called, 'Song of the Tress' by Mildred D. Taylor. This is a historical fiction story! To begin our unit, let's take out our Writing About Reading Section and write down the following journal prompt:
Think of a time something happened to you that was unfair.
Describe the situation.
What did you do about it?
Set a timer on your phone, laptop, tablet, etc... for 7 minutes. Write about the above question for the WHOLE TIME. Keep your pen or pencil on the paper and just continue writing. This will help build your writing stamina...this is hard and that is ok!
Once the timer goes off, download a copy of your new story. Follow the link below. If you can print your story, that would be great, but if not, I will post the link to the story every day. Once your story is downloaded, read it and be ready for some comprehension activities tomorrow!
