LC
  • Diagram the even numbers on p. 247, Think B.  Correct them, and if you had any trouble, go back and do Think A.  Think A is made of simpler sentences than Think B.  Bring your questions to class tomorrow. 
  •  (Optional)  Read the blue boxes on the top of pp. 39 and 40 and correct the sentences in Think on both pages.  Have a parent check them.

Writing

Put your bibliography cards in alphabetical order, and if at all possible, type your bibliography on a computer using p.118 in LC as a guide.  You should have 4 or possibly even 5 sources now!  When you finish that, have fun designing a cover and/or looking for a few illustrations for your paper.

Treasure Island

Read chapters 33-34 today to complete the book!  Finish the final section of your vocabulary packet for a quiz tomorrow.

LC

·        Read the blue box on the top of p. 248 and do Think.  Diagram the evens on p. 249.  Have it corrected.

Writing

Using your final outline and your 3x5 cards put in order, begin writing the “sloppy copy” of your research paper.  Either type it, or if you are handwriting it, skip every other line so you have plenty of space to go back and revise.

If you haven’t finished the book, please do so this weekend!  Check to see that your entire vocab. packet is complete, and begin working on your map/book jacket/or other project.

Bible Memory
