Language Arts Updates

In class, we've been reading a variety of American Indian star myths, using They Dance in the Sky.  As we've read, students have taken notes of common themes and patterns in the stories and are now writing their own American Indian style myths based on constellations.  We will present these in class next week and finish this unit with a field trip to the planetarium at the Science Museum of Western Va on Thursday, October 7th.  We will leave campus at 9:00am and return before lunch. 

This week's Small Writing style is Expository.  Students should have rough drafts that are ready to be edited today.  Better drafts are due on Thursday.
