Snow Day!!!

Hey 8's,
What a day! It was quite an adventure getting to school today but I made it! Ruben and Joyce were also adventurous and made the daring trek to school. They are working on their historical fiction piece. Remember: It is an excerpt from a fictional character's memoirs. It must contain details of a historic event and explain your role in it. Assume your reader knows nothing about the historic event and be sure to describe your adventures in the first person. Do your research on the event because the more details you include, the more believable your memoir will be. Have fun writing and stay safe and warm. See you tomorrow...hopefully!!
