Family Tree projects were presented this week and I must say I am always amazed to see how much diversity and drama all our families have. The phrase "it's a small world" comes to mind. :) Now I get to grade all your memoirs and narratives. Yippee!
We will be getting back to our literature books this week with "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This short story is based on a Puritan village and its town minister -- Mr. Hooper. He has an important message he wants the townspeople to learn, but he teaches them in an unorthodox way. Listen to the following song ("The Stranger") by Billy Joel to see if you can guess what that lesson might be.
**Important Reminders**
1. Complete two sessions of Reading Plus by Sunday if you want to get credit. Please refer to the previous post.
2. Don't forget to finish reading your summer reading books for the quizzes due this week.
