Do You Live Like a Crab?

Welcome to ELA class with Mr. Reynolds!

This year, we will work very hard on our writing and reading skills, and we'll explore our passions in a variety of ways. That's right: I'll be asking you to think deeply about what matters in your life. We will meet a variety of characters in the amazing books and short stories we'll read this year; also, we will create our own stories, poems, essays, projects, and presentations.

I can't wait to dive into all of the remarkable experiences we'll share!

However, for now, let's begin with a question: Do you live like a crab? To understand what I'm asking, explore the document linked below, and we'll complete and discuss your written response.

Here is the link to the Crabs document:
