Monday, May 11th, 2015 - It's a brand new week!

In ELA today:

• We will continue working on our research topics!  Many of us have gotten a good jump on finding facts and information about our issue, using a narrowed-down topic.  This has helped us to be more concise with searching the web.
• We also need to come up with a statement that we will use for our thesis statement. This does two things:

1. It helps us to focus on how we want to persuade our readers about our topic, and
2. It helps us to focus on what we want/need to research about.

• Your homework for the weekend was to have read Chapter 5 of Frightful's Mountain - Frightful Peregrinates.  If you need to refresh your memory of this chapter, please do so.  We have a quiz on Socrative today on this chapter.
• Your homework, besides thinking about your research topic, is to read Chapter 6 of Frightful's Mountain - Frightful Finds The Enemy.
