Using any five of the ten words we studied today, write a cohesive and coherent (gotta love those two words whose definitions you should know) story, poem, or any literary form that would sufficiently express your understanding of the words in context.

EXTRA CREDIT! More Reading...
Hello Students,
I will use this blog platform to periodically post extra-credit opportunities for you to explore.
If you're interested, read the YA novel The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt. Post your response to your reading here by clicking reply. To get as much credit as possible, you must discuss the novel in depth (DO NOT give me a plot summary.... I already read the book, thank you), maybe provide some specific details that make it evident that you read and understood the book. This is your book review. Be thorough, be honest, be specific. I look forward to hearing all about your reading experience.
~Ms. Reyes
UPDATE: 11/20/2014 ~~~
Thanksgiving is coming up and a few plays are going on starting RIGHT NOW:
Chicago @ Perseverance Theatre
Calamity Jane @ TMHS performed by Latitude 58 Theatre Nov. 21 - 23, 2014
The Christmas Doll @ TMHS performed by NLJT Nov 28, 29, 30
