Monday April 3, 2017 Decorated eggs called pysanky" are a tradition in Ukraine. The craft has been practiced for thousands of year. An artist draw a pattern on an egg with a special pen and hot wax Than she applies dye to the egg. The wax protecks the covered areas from the dye, leaveing blank spaces where other colors can be applyed. She repeats this process to from patterns. The patterns celebrate spring and the easter holiday.

The Book Thief: Part 1 Quiz! In five minutes, we’re going to take a quiz over part one of The Book Thief. Take this time to flip back through assignments, your text, or talk about what’s happened so far with your partner.  Once we begin, remember: no talking or cell phones. You’ll get one warning. After that it’s a zero. Oh no!

Character Diaries! Just like we did for Hamlet, after we read some parts of The Book Thief we’ll write three short diary entries (at least 150 words each) about the events in the book from the perspective of one of the character. Here’s the catch: since Leisel still can’t read or write very well, you’re going to have to write your entries from another character’s perspective. Make sure you not only capture the events of the book, but also your character’s personality.  I would prefer these to be typed, but if you must write, make sure your entries are at least 150 words each.
