Oh, the twisted plot Twain weaves...."

Students are hot on the trail of the buried treasure--buried in #2 under the cross!  As they follow Tom and Huck on this new adventure, they're also wondering:  will Injun Joe follow through with the "revenge job"?  Will the boys escape his menace?  Is there hope yet for Tom and Becky?  Will the mischievous Tom ever "grow up"?  Despite being three quarters through the book with only a week left to read, there is still a lot of plot to unravel!

Students are wrapping up their vocabulary work with a mini-project due Thursday, along with their Personal Dictionary Logs.  Next week, upon completion of our reading, they will turn in their packets along with their books.  Then, we will watch the movie "Tom and Huck" to compare and contrast this film version of the novel.

HOMEWORK:

Tuesday:  Work on vocab project
Wednesday:  Finish ch. 29 if needed; finish vocab project--due tomorrow w/PD logs
Thursday:  Finish ch. 30 if needed; add to packets as needed
Friday:  Read ch. 31/32; add to packets as needed
