Today, I introduced the short story unit. I also handed out terminology that you will need to know by the end of this unit (I had you highlight the terms that you know so that you will be able to concentrate on memorizing the ones you don't know). You then had to read the short story "The Crystal Stars Have Just Begun to Shine"(I handed copies out - if you weren't here, the story is in your portfolio. Come in in the morning and get a copy so you are caught up). We then got copies of the text Fit to Print out of the library. Finally, I did a mini-lesson on major and minor works and citation.
