Realistic Fiction

We are nearly through with our realistic fiction short story unit. We are spending much of our time focusing on theme. In particular, we are paying attention to how characters change and what that teaches us about the story.

Once we are finished with this unit, we will begin The Outsiders. Please don't watch the movie! I promise it is not as good as the book. I know people always say that but I always have students every year watch it after reading the book and just hate it. Trust me on this! :-)
