6th Grade
Reading: Read for 1 1/2 hours; Odyssey due tonight
Writing: Writing Celebration moved to Thursday!!!  Reminders:

1. Student should read all teacher comments left on his/her writing piece.  In order to have the best narrative possible, I highly suggest making revisions based on each of my suggestions.
2. The entire document should be in black, size 12 or 14 font, with all symbols placed in during revision, removed.  Students should give the narrative a unique & creative title that is centered and underlined.  In the upper left hand corner of the paper should be the student's name and below that should be Thursday's date.
3. Students should use the editing checklist to do final self-editing.  Students should also have a parent/sibling complete the peer-editing side of the checklist.    
4. The final paper should be started on a new document that students should title "11-10-14 Published Narrative".  I will be printing this off on Thursday morning, before our celebration.
