IMPORTANT CHANGE!!
THE SUMMER PROJECT
Originally, the plan was to have the weekly writing composed on the computer and emailed. However, since computer access is not always available for the Finishers:
1. MAKE A NOTEBOOK FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.
2. BRING THE COMPLETED NOTEBOOK WITH YOU TO THE SEPTEMBER 10 MEETING.
This summer the boys will read Aesop's Fables. The assignment is to write a weekly fable INSPIRED BY the various fables in the book. In this way, the Finishers will compile a book of ORIGINAL fables (Johnny's Fables, Walter's Fables, Isaiah's Fables).
The Rules
1. You may NOT use the animals from Aesop's Fables in your fables.
2. You must have a moral for each fable.
3. Pictures (your drawings or cut from magazines) are encouraged. Be creative!
4. End with a biography of Aesop (1 paragraph) and your opinion of the book (1 paragraph).
