Yay! Everyone had their books in class today. We started reading The Arabian Nights. One thing we learned is that this book is filled with "cliffhangers." The Sultan's new wife tells tales, but she always ends them just as day is breaking right in the most suspenseful part! Then the Sultan and her sister have to wait until nightfall to hear how the plot is resolved! She lives for at least 2002 nights and days! Very ingenious! How do you think her father feels about what his daughter is doing? How about the townspeople?
Your assignments are:
Wednesday 29 February 2012 LEAP YEAR!!!
1. Read the rest of "The Merchant and the Genie"
2. Read the story of "Sinbad the Sailor"
BRING ARABIAN NIGHTS TO EVERY CLASS, PLEASE.
