Cut out and study the vocabulary words for Lesson 16. Level B students should remember to find similar words to write onto the backs of the vocabulary cards.
Then complete the Sword and the Stone story by putting it into Rough Draft Form with the attached Checklist from page 118. (Yes, I did say in class to go ahead and do the Final Draft, but I did change my mind. Many students did not complete the 3rd paragraph in class, and I want to give extra time to really be extra thorough with all the elements of the story.)
You will exchange stories in class this Friday and critique each others' paper for the elements and for making suggestions to improve them. Therefore, be sure to underline and label the elements appropriately.

The Sword in the Stone, part II
Follow the same sequence of steps as in Part I, using page 112 to answer the questions on page 113, brainstorm on pages 114 and 117. Then use those pages to write the second paragraph of your story. Amend the first paragraph I returned to you today as well. Don't forget to utilize the checklists and to label the elements in each paragraph, underlining them too.
These papers should be very neat if handwritten so as to not provide difficulty in me reading them. Keep up the good work; I liked a lot of what I read from you all today!
It will take me a few days to get caught up on prior papers and grading for your Grammar report cards; thank you for your patience.

Due Tuesday, Jan. 17th ~ Vocab.
If you completely worked through the first topic rough draft process in class today, then you do not have any writing to do unless you want to tweak it a little more for your satisfaction. If you did not write the first rough draft paragraph for Topic A of the research paper, then you must finish it over the weekend.
Cut out Lesson 15 vocabulary cards and study all of your words, but especially the new ones. Level B students must also write 3 similar words on the back of each card as well.
