Final Blog Post


We watched "A Wrinkle in Time" movie in class on Tuesday. After both reading the book and watching the movie, which did you like better? Why? What were the differences between the book and the movie? What were the similarities?

This final post will be due Thursday, May 15th. Remember to read what your classmates had to say too! Create a chart of the similarities and differences that everyone found. This will be due in class on Thursday as well.

Final Vocabulary: Create a Story


As a final vocabulary lesson for this language arts unit, you will compose a story using at least 20 of the vocabulary words posted on the class blog throughout the past few weeks. The story can be as short or as long as you want to make it, just make sure it is a well-written story that makes sense. It does not have to do with "A Wrinkle in Time." This will be part of your language arts grade, so remember to use correct grammar, complete sentences, spelling, and punctuation. I recommend typing this in a word-processing program such as Microsoft Word before you post them.

Stories should be posted no later than Wednesday, May 14th. Try your best because we will be voting on which story the class liked best! We will also be turning these stories into digital stories later in the week to showcase our hard work!
