After you finish grammar, you have a choice:
1) Write a retelling of "Broken Chain" by Gary Soto in the literature section of your notebook (use the Retelling Guide and/or the Rating Sheet on Elements of Literature page 15-16) -- you might want to do this if your friend did not give you a 3/3 for every category on your "The Wise Old Woman" Retelling and you need more practice
2) Create a plot map using the graphic organizer on Elements of Literature page 3 as an example. You will draw this yourself in your literature section of your notebook (draw it the size of a whole page)

You will be taking your Grammar Chapter 6 Quiz today. You may use Holt Handbook , your notebook, your notes sheet, and your homework packet. If I remember correctly, I did not check every page with every class.
