English 8

Tonight, write a good copy of the short text message conversation you wrote in class. Also, write a 6-10 sentence email from an ant at the front of the column of insects to his or her commander, who is stationed in the middle of the swarm.  Report one event that happens on the front lines.  Remember, an email to a superior officer will sound different from a text from one friend to another.  Do not used texting lingo like "btw" or "cu l8er".

In addition, keep studying for your vocabulary quiz on Friday (see the words in yesterday's post).  Make sure you have a neatly drawn and labelled map of Leiningen's farm.  You can refer to the story for a physical description of the property.
