Cynthia did a great job in class today. We began looking at short stories and she read about and we discussed what a good short story needs. Cynthia learned a bit about plot, setting, and characters. This lesson had a lot of new information for Cynthia and we will spend the next few lessons looking at each aspect of the short story a little closer. Cynthia can try to write her own short stories and I look forward to reading them. In Cynthia's homework this week I left the directions to start her own story.

Thank you and see you next week,

Ms. Katie.
