4/6 Wednesday's Notes and Homework

Hi Everyone!
   
Hope you've all been enjoying working on your pixton comics. I've started to see some finished products, and they are great!

IF you have not finished, you can work on your comic from any computer (home included... and if your home computer doesn't work, go to a friends and work on it, or head to your local library).

To access your work, you must go to pixton.com/schools and log in using the log in name and password you created. Make sure that when you log in, it's at "pixton for schools," and not "pixton for fun."

For your project, you must have your 6-8 sentence paragraph on the cartoon, as well as a direct quote from the book. If you do not have a copy of the book in your possession, you can either google search quotes from The Giver, or you can head to your local library to grab a book.

Remember the message from Friday's assembly... NO EXCUSES! You can complete this project and make it great!

On Friday, April 8th you have your Giver test!
On the test we will cover:
1. Character identification
2. Symbolism
3. Foreshadowing
4. Descriptive language
5. Antagonist/protagonist
6. Plot points
7. Vocab and spelling (you will be tested on a few of the 34 words)

FRIDAY APRIL 8TH
* GIVER TEST
* GIVER PACKET DUE
* PIXTON COMIC DUE
* LAST DAY OF THE QUARTER SO NOTHING CAN BE HANDED IN LATE

Hope you all enjoy your day off!
