Virginia Hamilton and Such

We will begin our literature circles tomorrow. You will begin reading a novel by Virginia Hamilton with several of your classmates. As you read, it is important to pay attention to how Hamilton's patterns appear in your book. Remember that you will begin writing a response to literature in several weeks about a pattern or theme that recurs in Hamilton's writing. It's never too early to think about which pattern or theme you would like to focus on for this project.

Additionally, tomorrow I will give you a list of your missing 4th quarter assignments. Your ongoing homework assignment for this week will be to turn in your missing work by Friday, May 21st. If you don't have any missing assignments, then your only homework is to continue reading for the book campaign. Twenty-one books by Friday, people!
