The last set of Vocabulary for the book! For bonus points, see if you can use vocabulary from our word wall in your own story! We will present our stories next week in class.
Using what we have been learing about mice and other rodents, it is time for you to start thinking about what you would like to write your story about. You will be writing a story with the title the "________ and the Motorcycle". The thing you choose must be a rodent. Included on the site are some live webcams to watch a few rodents that you might be interested in using. Take this time to learn about your rodent and start writing your story. This story will be due a week after we finish our book so good luck and get started!
