BOOK PROJECT IS DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!! TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY TO TAKE AR TEST FOR THE QUARTER!!!!!!

We continued our reading of Maniac Magee. We read quite a bit today. We discussed Hyperbole, similes, metaphors, conflicts, cause and effects, genre and many other literary devices. Homework is to finish the worksheets involved in chapters 2-6. I know this seems like a lot but we talked about every answer in class this morning. So those of you who marked up your novel and listened and contributed should find this pretty easy!
