WEDNESDAY: Today we will be learning about CULTURE and what makes up yours. We will also learn about some unusual cultural customs from around the world and read about one very unusual group.
THURSDAY: You will be brainstorming your own culture in order to write a "Where I'm From" poem. We will do an in-class brainstorming activity, read some examples, and you will start drafting an example.
You also have the following homework assignment, which is due by Friday!
