We're starting a Novel!

Last Friday, the 9th graders took a test on the 4 short stories we've read in class. Now, we're moving on to Of Mice and Men, a short novel by John Steinbeck.

Tonight, students are to read and annotate chapter 1, pgs 1-15. They were to have 12 annotations total.

For the next 3 weeks, you should see this novel coming home with your student!
