THIS WEEK: MON. JUNE 20 - FRI. JUNE 26

There will be no new online assignments this week. It is truly a 'finishing up' week. Hopefully everyone finished their ThatQuiz and TypingWeb assignments, and we can focus on finishing 'classroom' work this week.

Here is a link for some summertime reading/listening:
The Exquisite Corpse Adventure
->'Ever heard of an Exquisite Corpse? It's not what you might think. An Exquisite Corpse is an old game in which people write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold it over to conceal part of it and pass it on to the next player to do the same. The game ends when someone finishes the story, which is then read aloud.
->Our "Exquisite Corpse Adventure" works this way: Jon Scieszka, the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, has written the first episode, which is "pieced together out of so many parts that it is not possible to describe them all here, so go ahead and just start reading!" He has passed it on to a cast of celebrated writers and illustrators, who must eventually bring the story to an end.'


The story has now ended, and all episodes can be found at the above link. Happy Reading!

HERE IS A QUICK LINK TO OUR FAIRY TALE WEB PAGES. WE WILL BE EVALUATING THEM WITH ROOM 117 ON TUESDAY.
