• Make sure to add a clear definition (you'll have to look it up, ask a
  parent, or use the options Quizlet provides), and you can even add a
  picture!

• We will be journalling along with Captain Lewis!  You'll need a section for your journal entries, a section for figurative language, a section for vocabulary, and a page or two in the back for characters that you meet along the way.
• Here is your sheet for this week.  You don't have to print it!  Just write in your Literature Notebook. 
• As you read, keep a list of characters in the back of your notebook.  Just jot down their names and a few words about them so you can remember who is who!
