Read “An Old-Fashioned Iowa Christmas” and “Snow in the Suburbs.” Answer questions 1-4 pg 73
Write a short essay, at least two paragraphs, on one of your own past Christmases, telling some unique family tradition or an unusual incident. Use imaginative comparisons, sentence openers, and dress-ups. (If these are not clear in the writing, then we will go back to attaching checklists and marking everything.)
Remember
(If you do not have something interesting to write about, make it up, but it must be believable.)
Indicate what type of organization you are using. (chronological?)
