Week of Sept. 20th

We will be starting a novel unit on Monday. We will be reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. This will take the place of our weekly reading test.

The due date for their first literature project is fast approaching. I have extended my due date to Sept. 29th.

Realistic Fiction is

• a form of fiction (not true)

• accurately reflects life as it could be lived today
  

• everything in the story could happen to real people living in our natural physical world
  

• the characters have normal human powers
  

• story may be set in real places, but the story is NOT based on history, nor does it contain elements of science fiction

Do NOT choose Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing or Because of Winn Dixie as we will read them in class.
