Week of February 23

This week we will continue working on Reading Extended Responses. Be sure to complete your response to the Doc Marlowe story by Monday. Have you memorized the Extended Response template taught to you during class?

The Advanced Reading class will begin the novel, The Westing Game, this week. The Westing Game is a novel by Ellen Raskin that was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1979. The sixteen heirs of magnate Sam Westing are called upon at the reading of his will to unravel the secret behind his untimely demise. This also happens to be one of my favorite books. I hope you enjoy it too!
