This will be glued into your Writer's Notebook. Make sure you pick up a copy of Todd Strasser's "Squid Girl" to read. Sorry--no links for this.
Complete your Territory Map with added details (adjectives or an added word next to what you initially labeled). Add words that trigger more memories.
Reread your writing from class based on your map and add more as you begin to recall more. Personalize the cover of your Writer's Notebook for Thursday (Friday for sequence 2). Make sure you have reserved pages for a Table of Contents, numbered all the pages, reviewed and glued the Writer's Notebook Expectations inside the front cover.
