April 27- May 1

LA- This week we will be doing some lead-in activities to prepare us for our next novel,
The Pearl by John Steinbeck. This is a great book with a strong, moral, message about greed. I think you guys will have a lot to say about it! We'll discuss symbolism and themes in literature to prepare.

SS- We'll be moving on to chapter 7 in the text. This is a really interesting chapter about the Klondike gold rush. You'll be amazed at what people did just for a little bit of gold!

top secret extra credit worth 20 points! Interview an older relative (grandparents) and ask them all about their first job. Type up the 3 paragraph response and bring it in to share with your LA class on Monday.
