Due December 3 (LapBook, Portfolios, FI#14, vocab)

Mrs. Cotham will be teaching our Literature part of class on December 3
1) Portfolios should be up to date
2) Lapbook  due for WITs. Extra Credit for all others

Reminder (also see Nov 19 details):
Students were given the a Magician's Nephew Lapbook Starter Packet. Feel free to use it and even add to it.  Maybe your WIT wants to draw a picture, write a poem, create some foldables of his or her own, add a photograph, write an essay, create an adjective list about a favorite place or character in the book, record lovely vocabulary words from the book, write a review . . . . . .

If you are more of a "notebooking" type of home educator, feel free to adapt this.

If you have not yet explored the world of lapbooks, here are a couple of links to help get you started:
