LITERATURE: HOMEWORK 9/27-10/4

You did a great job creating Mayan artifacts! They belong in a museum! Oh, that reminds me. We're going to the Kimbell on October 13. . . to see MAYAN ARTIFACTS! The information will be posted separately with a permission slip attached--be on the lookout for it!

We're back to Julian and Cantu and Ceela--what do you think is going to happen in The Feathered Serpent? I'll give you a hint. . . Don Luis is back in the picture and things are going to get even more serious for Julian. Your reading homework is below. For this book, YOU are going to be the ones to compose the questions that will be on the daily quizzes. I'm also going to have you learn to spell 10 words, and to recognize the definitions of 10 more. Those lists are below. Be sure you're reading at least 30 minutes each night, and that you are filling out your reading logs.

Now, back to the Island of the Feathered Serpents!
