Hello, Academic English B-Day students! While I do miss you all after having been gone over Spring Break and then for Outdoor Ed, I am sadly fighting bronchitis and need another day at home on antibiotics. Please be awesome for Mr. Cohen, the sub. 
                                                   See you soon! 
                                                   Best, Mrs. Bender-Stone

Today you'll practice sequencing and creating flow maps.
First-
We started these stories earlier in the quarter. For each of these stories, sequence the events and then make sure to show Mr. Cohen your scores so that he can record them!

1. Sedna the Sea Goddess
2. Nasreddin Goes Shopping
3. Nasreddin and the Smell of Soup
4. The Magic Paintbrush
   
5. The Tongue-Cut Sparrow
   

Second-
After you finish the stories above, choose one of the stories below to read, then create a Flow Map with the five most important events (just like we did for the movies "Meet the Robinsons" and "Labyrinth.") Make sure you understand what you are reading!

• "The Upside-Down Mice" by Roald Dahl
  
• "Stray" by Cynthia Rylant
  
• "Mericans" by Sandra Cisneros
  
• "The Jacket" by Gary Soto

You'll have to use your own paper. Remember, your flow map will look something like this, except it will only have FIVE main boxes:
