Download and save Unit 6 Directions from the File Transfer Library. It was also pushed out to you when you entered the classroom. It is also on my website. Follow along as I explain the directions.

You must choose a piece of literature that we have read this year in literature:

Unit 4: To Kill A Mockingbird or The Yearling

Unit 10: Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

What piece of literature did you have the best connection with? What piece of literature did you enjoy studying the most? Now, choose a theme that applies to the piece of literature you have chosen.
