sep 24: Today, you worked on a PowerPoint presentation based on a character from "The Life You Save May Be Your Own." Do you think creating a presentation like this helps you understand a story and its characters better than a traditional worksheet? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

  my first house in Norcross holds many memories for me. it was a two story town house that was like every other house in the neighborhood, but it was mine. I had my first dog there, and my first nightmares as a kid. I lost stuff there but I also found new and returning things in my life. it represents my early childhood with how big it felt, yet so small now that I return to visit once in a while. in class we read one part of a story and did some questions on it. the story helped me recall a big part of my life, my childhood.
