In language arts this week, students will continue to analyze the hero's journey archetype. We'll read and analyze Ray Bradbury's short story "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh," and students will do some creative work with the earliest stages of the hero's journey plot pattern. Also, we'll review and study verbs--action, linking, and helping. Students will have a quiz on nouns, pronouns, and verbs on Thursday. You can find links to two of the reviews students will complete in preparation for the quiz here and here.
Finally, thanks to everyone who came to Dryden's Open House last Wednesday night. It was great to meet you. Parent conferences will be on Thursday, September 25th and Friday, September 26th. I look forward to seeing everyone there.
