This week, we will be continuing to read in our class novel, The Glass Castle. We will discuss examples of figurative language in the text and students will use their understanding to complete their first writing assignment (Autobiographies) focusing on organization, word choice, and voice. More details will be provided in-class.

On Friday, students will be required to read independently and will need to fill out their weekly reading log for their portfolio. Students should be reading 15-20 minutes at home each night.
