Week of January 21 - 25 2018

**Bell Ringer Sheet Everyday**

Monday - Personal Narrative Intro
As we bide our time as we creep up on the research paper adventure (not for another few weeks), we have the opportunity to build a personal narrative in class.  This will be a retelling of a memory and will include dialogue, sensory writing and personal voice with the hope of publishing everyone's stories at the completion of the writing workshop.
