This week we will be focusing on storytelling and the different ways in which stories are told. We will read about Pullman train porters who spread stories through the oral tradition and learn about how those stories grow into tall tales and other fiction. Students will be asked to come up with their own true story from their family (or make a new one).
There will be a literary terms quiz on Monday the 28th. The notes from our discussion on literary terms are on the 8th grade links page to help students study.
