Halloween and The Highway

Sorry about not posting last night, I was passing out candy. I'll include yesterday's summary here. We read the story "Kaleidoscope" and again, the students were shocked at the ending. The stories in this book are different in the way there are very few stories with happy endings.
Today we read the story "The Highway" and although the character in the story didn't die, the effect of the atomic bomb being dropped on the U.S. must have been catastrophic. Afterward, the students wrote a paragraph on a prompt about the story. In these writings, we are trying to focus on proper formatting and capitalization. If there is a mistake, the student will be marked down and can correct the paragraph to improve the grade.

Homework:
Read AR
Work on packet (vocabulary and The Highway) -if you need the packet, it is in edline
