Week of 8/27/12

This week we will read a memoir by Gary Soto- "One Last Time."  Our focus will be identifying figurative language and sensory details in the memoir (and eventually writing our own), discussing the author's attitude about his memoir and the vocabulary strategy of using context clues to determine a word's meaning and reviewing homophones and contractions.

Don't forget to have your book chosen for the first reading contract which is due on Friday. 

Assignments:
Signed Reading Contract- Due Fri.
Vocab Sentences- Due Tue.
Simile/ Metaphor Practice- Due Thur.
