Week at a glance January 14 - 18, 2013

We'll continue our Urban Legends Unit this week with more discussions and examples for what makes an urban legend.  We'll then have a bit of creative fun as we develop our own creative example of an urban legend.  Students will have the option of sharing their legend in class on Friday.  We'll also use part of our time this week to prepare for the KS Writing Assessment as we look at sample prompts and structures.  We'll wrap up the week with reading time for the IBP and time for sharing the urban legend.
