You need to make sure that your foldables are HIGH quality. I would like to finish today. If you need ideas, you may ask the substitute teacher to take down the big chart paper of your book's plot that we made together.

Shalonda, Keem, Soane, and Sophie
Your group needs to find a way to make sure that everyone is working hard and that you work looks good. That might mean each person doing or redoing their symbol on paper from their journal, and then gluing it onto your final draft.

Talaya & Rachel
You need to go to your Google Slides, go to insert > audio. Then, upload the audio files that you recorded.

Sharon & Analia
Talaya and Rachel can show you hot to record audio.

You are going to write a small moment for an image in first and third person point of view.  
There are two examples below. Notice how the narrator uses thoughts, descriptions, emotions, and dialogue.



Picture
First Person
It seems crazy to me that this is my normal way to get to school. At least I only have to do it once a week, and staying at school all weeks is kinda fun; I get to hang out with my friends in the evening.
"Dude! Your shoe just hit me in the face."
"Oh, sorry! I forgot to double knot it."
"No worries. Sorry you lost your shoe."

Third Person
Amazingly, climbing the ladder up the cliff feels normal to these students. As Miguel climbs up, his shoe suddenly falls off and smacks Francisco below him in the face. "Oh, sorry! I forgot to double knot it," said Miguel. "No worries!" said Francisco. The two then bravely continued up the ladder.
Picture
First Person
"What? Is this for real?" I thought to myself.
Who will ever believe this? I know - I will tell Mateo. That dude will trust me. And imagine the tricks, fun, and experiments that we can do with a flying dog.

Third Person
"What? Is this for real?" Thought Shabaz. He thought feeding his dog helium from a balloon would make its voice higher.... but now it seems that he has a flying dog. 
After discussing things with his friend Mateo, they started making plans. There was a lot that one could do with a flying pet.

1. Get the image that you chose last week from the front table.
​Take out your reading journal.
Glue the image into your reading journal.



2. Write a small moment in first person point of view.
It could have:

description
thoughts
dialogue



3. Now, rewrite your small moment in third person point of view.
It must have:

description
thoughts
dialogue



​
4. Leave your journal open. Put it on top of your writing journal (which should also be open!) so I can read them both after school. 
Close your computer.
Read.
