    Hi Ms. Reese,
    I have a quick question!!
    In our novel outline, question number 2 asks "What do you think about this TOPIC now?" Is the topic referring to my prediction topic or the book as a whole?
    Thanks!!
    Ritika :)

      Hi Ritika,
      Great question! I think either would be okay. I would probably do a little of both, but I will let you decide! ;)

    For the feature article outline on the back pager it says put the main idea. Could i put more than 1 sentence for the main idea! Or like we did in Daybook for Abraham Lincoln put the main idea in one sentence only?

      Good question! All 4 paragraphs should be a combination of facts and persuasion.

      Hi Ritika,

      Thank you! The beach is wonderful! North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is beautiful. I hope you get to visit some day. I hope you aren't working too hard on your spring break and enjoying some relaxing time with your family and friends. References for pictures is always a good idea. Great job!
