Don’t forget to finish annotating the text, “A Night in the Desert”, for tomorrow’s test.
You should also practice answering this S.A.R. on the BACK of your study guide loose leaf:
“Describe Ethan’s positive and negative actions in this story. Use details from the passage to support your response.”
“The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe
Neatly write ONLY the answers on a fresh piece of loose leaf paper. This is optional (extra credit).
The title should be … (of the Big Read newspaper from the Dearborn Public Library)

The second cat.
A. The second cat lost one eye because he bit the man’s hand.

OK. I’m going to make this sooooo easy for you.
- Click on the link for “The Black Cat”. https://poestories.com/read/blackcat
- Neatly copy paragraph 5 on loose leaf.
- Then rewrite the paragraph at a 3rd grade level (so that even a beginning reader could understand the paragraph).
Here is an example:
The cat’s name was Pluto. He was my favorite pet, and I played with him a lot. I was the only one who gave him food. The cat followed me all around the house. When I tried to leave the house, the cat always tried to follow me out to the streets.
OR … neatly copy paragraph 6 on loose leaf.
HW:
Show your yellow progress report to a parent. Get a parent signature on the report (signature line is near the bottom of the paper).
SO EASY!
All hours (including 5th hour) will be allowed to have an educational celebration tomorrow. Hope you had a safe and relaxing day off!
