__**My Hand**__ __**Time Line**__ In September, as an introduction to the study of history, we each had to make a timeline of events that represented our own life.

__**Thank You Ma'am**__ We read the short story, “Thank you, Ma’am” by Langston Hughes. This story shows the consequences a young thief faces after attempting to steal a strong, yet compassionate, victim’s purse. Rather than punish the young thief, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones empathizes with him and takes him into her home for a hot meal. She teaches him a valuable life lesson.

I chose to draw the scene in the story where Mrs.Luella Bates Washington Jones hands the boy some money because I thought that it had a really good significance. Even though the boy tried to steal from her, she still gave him money.

 * __Word of the Day __**

TASK: Each day we were given a word and its definition. We then had to write the word in a sentence that showed we understood the meaning of the word.

INTENT: The purpose for learning a new word each day is to enrich our vocabulary in our own writing and expand our knowledge of the English language.

CRITERIA: We were expected to:
 * Keep our notebook up-to-date
 * Share our sentences with the class
 * Use the word in a context related to our subject areas

 * __My Story __**

TASK: I was to create an organized piece of writing that tells my story. My story is made up of details and memories that construct who I am.

INTENT: Everyone’s story begins the same way but from that moment on our “stories” become unique. Many people and many events are a part of our stories. The purpose of this assignment was for me to tell my story focusing on key events, people, and experiences that helped shape my story.

CRITERIA: My final piece has three paragraphs and a reflection: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">a) How my story began (5 marks) <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">b) A specific memory or event that had a meaningful impact (5 marks) <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 17.3333px;">c) My future self – Who do I see?
