Gilgamesh - the epic continues!

We are coming to the end of our epic.  I hope you've enjoyed a story older than the Bible! We are learning so much history as well.  Make sure you keep your vocabulary journal current so that you can refer to the new words & their definitions as we read.

We will be finishing up the epic this week & we'll be looking at the story of Noah and compare/contrast the 2 stories.

We will also take a look at some modern-day versions of the power of the hero & his heroic quest.

How come there aren't any heroic women in these stories????

Last week of after-school GHSWT tutoring!

What are those of you who haven't attended waiting for?

I want to thank the following students for taking the initiative in attending from 9/6 - 9/13:

Any G.,Elisa R., Fatoumata S., & Aimee G. - I'm sure all your hard work & dedication will pay off on September 27!

We will be working on a new prompt this week using all the strategies we've learned in the past few weeks.

Always remember the: I = Issue (problem) T = Task (what are you being asked to do) & the A = Audience - to whom are you writing & who will be reading your writing??

Take your writing seriously now, before it's too late!
