We kicked off the Personal Narrative Unit this past Wednesday and we’ll be in full swing next week. I encourage you to take a look at the new Personal Narrative tab on the website. You’ll find our unit goals, unit assessment, and many tools to help students be successful! I will be updating this tab throughout the unit, so visit often.
The following is an outlook for the week of September 28- October 2:
