“The Tell-Tale Heart”/”What’s in My Sandwich?”

Hello O. L. Smith Community,

This week, the students reviewed setting and worked primarily on the tone and the mood of a story. The texts were used were “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe and “What’s in My Sandwich?” by R. L. Stine. The students were asked to complete a comic strip showing they understand plot, which was covered last week, along with these three narrative elements. The assignment is due Monday! If the students need to see the story, the links for each text can be seen below:

Also, I have returned the Malala Short Essay Responses to the students. Unfortunately, some students turned in a blank document. I believe they may have created a new Google Doc by mistake, instead of searching for their completed assignment in their Google Drives when turning it in electronically. If I did not receive your student’s work, it may be turned in to me before the end of the second card marking. Have your student share the assignment with me on Google Drive and I will email them once I have received it. You may check if your student’s work was turned in on ParentConnect.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
