** Picture retakes are Wednesday, Nov 8th. Tell the office if you would like to be on the retake list.
For the next two weeks we will be working through a Klondike Gold Rush Unit. We will be reading text of differing genres and points of view over the course of the unit. This week we will read a short story by Jack London called "The King of Mazy May," a web article exploring the experiences of Chinese and African American's during the gold rush, and a letter from the perspective of a woman gold rusher. We will have a vocabulary quiz over the gold rush vocabulary list this Friday, November 10th.
The following video from PBS provides an in-depth look at the Klondike Gold Rush. We will watch a small excerpt in class to help set the scene and build background knowledge for our unit. Here is the full video if you are interested.
