2. When (and if) finished, either read or work on artifact book project
On Wednesday your Term 1 Novel project is due. You'll be working in groups to present your novels to each other.
See you on Wednesday...

Tuesday Dec 9th
Today we talked about transitions in writing and why they are useful. In your upcoming piece you'll need to use transitions to link ideas together.
The due date for your Term 1 novel project has been adjusted to Wed Dec 17th to give us a bit more time to do a good job with your media paragraph. Please note that you are more than able to hand your project in on Monday the 15th (in fact I'd recommend it if you're simply going to delay your project work 48 hours).
We spent our last class in the library conducting research. You should have two articles and be finished the 'work' piece. Research + two articles will be handed in on Thursday.
On Thursday we'll go over how to integrate quotes and get your outlines done. On Monday you'll write your paragraph in class.
Homework: DUE Thursday the 11th - 2 articles + research
Due Wed Dec 17th (or before) Artifact Box Book Report
