Ms. G said...

You could be ANYONE you would like: Bertha, Helen, Rochester, or yourself writing to Jane as a friend. This letter is all about Point of View...

To make it kind of creative can we make up a date that's in the 19th century?

Malinda:

Sure you can be as creative as you would like, but be sure that it makes sense and expresses your point of view.

Shavar:

No. Your paper was not uploaded. You should have your own ID/pswrd. You should know if it worked because you can check on your submissions and get a confirmation when you upload.

Hope you are all enjoying your vacation.
