Monday - Friday
For our novel study of My Brother Sam is Dead, we are writing chapter summaries each day.
On Friday, these will be due:
1) Final copies of the summaries for chapters 1-5. These should be typed or written in ink.
2) Illustrations of each chapter, so 5 illustrations will be due on Friday after lunch. There will be a few minutes of classtime before lunch on Friday to finish. Illustrations may be drawings, powerpoints, collages, models, etc. You may mix them up; for instance, you could make 4 drawings and build a model of a teepee. Drawings are totally acceptable.
We'll continue with this format through the end of the book, so there will be similar assignments for chapters 6-10 next week, with Friday being the deadline again. Note: See below......
Update!!! Because these assignments are causing unnecessary stress for many of my students, I've changed the requirements. The chapter summaries are written in class, and final copies are due on Friday. Some students have taken their work home to recopy overnight. Typing is optional.
The illustrations are also optional and will be awarded as extra credit. We will make models and draw most of the upcoming illustrations in class. Please disregard the original assignment schedule.
Thank you,
