Detalles: Each week, students will be asked to work on a new short story based on that week's lesson. Students will post their story to the classroom at least twenty-four hours before the following week's class! If students do not post their work on time, we will be unable to discuss their work in class-- parents, please help me ensure your students have the best learning experience by encouraging them to post their work on time.
