Homework: Read the chapter Buddy Beware in you Flipped book. Take good notes in your website if possible otherwise take notes on paper. Work 20 minutes on your Yellow Star project.

Language Arts: Here is a tip for how to begin a paragraph in your Yellow Star Projects. For example: **Although the Holocaust was a terribly dark time in history, the Jewish people experienced moments of hope that helped them survive the many, many moments of great despair.** ** (That first sentence was a broad sentence to introduce the theme.) **  **Their hope could have come from grand incidents of sacrifice or even simple gestures that had great impact .** (**The second sentence gave the reader the idea that these moments of hope were both big and small)**  ** In Syvia's story there were many such moments. ** **(**At this point you would begin to introduce specific examples not all in one sentence.)
