    Jordan & Haley,
    You need to have your author study rubric, graphic organizers for your references (those were all stapled together in the packet), and your analyzing song lyrics form to turn in along with your essay and poster. You can also bring music to play along with your presentation if you want! Hope this helps! See you tomorrow!

    Tyler,
    What instructions do you need? If you are talking about the singer/songwriter project, you can find the instructions under the ILA documents page. Click on that page from the right hand side of the screen, then click on 2nd 6 weeks and it should take you to the google docs folder where you can find all of the pages for the research project!

    Thsnk's Mrs. Grahn!!!! I have another question, about the scrapbook project, do we just glue on the graphic organizers about the characters right onto the page?

    Morgan,
    You will just use the graphic organizers to help you to focus your thoughts about the characters. You will be creating the pages using some of the information from your graphic organizers. Your pages will also have pictures and a bio poem for each character!
