Today we read chapters 24 and 25 aloud in class. Jim made it back onto the Hispaniola and took control. He dumped the Jolly Roger overboard and made a deal with the injured Israel Hands.

Our quick write was – What is your opinion of Israel Hands? We have to use our quick write and find more detailed information about Israel Hand from the book Treasure Island to make pre-writing notes in our Writer Reader’s Notebook so that later in the week we can write a resume for Israel Hands. Our notes need to include information that will help us write a resume with five parts: Objective, Education, Experience, Qualifications, and References.

Our own crew Jolly Rogers were hung and crew scores given. We have some excellent crew Jolly Rogers, some are attracting a lot of attention out in the hall as well as in the classroom.
