Dear Class,
Today I have 3 blog entries for you to write. --Please remember to use "spell check." Please ask if you don't know how spell check works.
1) Thanksgiving is a time in the U.S. that we stop and think about things we are thankful for. Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences telling what you are thankful for in your life.
2) You have studied very hard in the ALP in all of your classes. Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences telling something interesting you learned in one of your other classes. (It doesn't have to be specifically about English, but can be about the information you learned about something. -- For example you could tell about a person, group of people, or thing you read in Reading or Vocabulary class. Or something you learned in your elective class.)
3) What do you plan to do over your Thanksgiving vacation? --Will you travel, go shopping, spend time with family/friends, enjoy relaxing? -- Please write 3-4 sentences telling what you will do.
Thank you!
See you Friday!

Monday's homework for Wednesday's class
Dear Class,
Your Monday homework for Wednesday's class is to finish the scary story I gave you in class (also below) with a paragraph of 8-10 sentences.

I wanted more chocolate bars, so I said to my friends, “Let’s go to a few more houses and then go home.”

So after a few more houses, I took my friends to the road that went through the forest. We walked about 20 minutes, and then, suddenly, I felt very strange. I couldn’t remember how to go home! It was dark and foggy. We were lost. And then, it started to rain. Lightning was in the sky and thunder rang in our ears. We walked in the rain for two hours. We were very wet and very cold. At midnight, I saw an old house on a hill.
"I think we’ll have to spend the night in that old house and wait till morning,” I said.
My friends didn’t think it was a good idea, but they were cold and wet, so they said “Yes.” We walked up the old wooden steps to the front door. The door opened loudly. We went inside, sat down, and started to eat a chocolate bar, when . . .
