http://www.grammar-quizzes.com/
2. Work on Rattlebone Stories for completion at end of week


3. New Writing Project:

The Qualities

Create two "quality" personifications similar to the ones that Ruth Gendler has written.
Select an emotion and give it the qualities of a human being--personification!  How does this emotion act, "feel", live?  Who are friends of this emotion?  What does this emotion look like physically (if he or she were a person)?  Use vivid DESCRIPTION to PERSONIFY this emotion.

Those of you who would like to can also draw a picture of your "character" and we will try to publish a class book of "The Qualities" at the end of the marking period


4. SOKOL entries: 
Select a poem and/or short story for SOKOL.  Before you submit it, proofread and revise it!  Check with Ms. Gamzon if you have questions.
