Your test on Tom Sawyer will have a mix of multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blanks, and putting events in chronological order. Here's a sneak peek...these are the events that you'll have to put in the correct order:
Tom and Huck witness the murder in the graveyard
Tom gets other boys to whitewash Aunt Polly’s fence
Tom asks Becky to “get engaged”
Tom, Joe, and Huck run away to Jackson’s Island
The Widow has Huck move in with her
Also make sure you look at the character quiz, as those names will show up on the test.

Tom Sawyer's Eulogy
Today, November 7, we are reading Chapter 14 of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. IF YOU HAVE MISSED ANY CHAPTERS UP UNTIL NOW, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CATCHING UP (either borrow a book from me or read on a computer).
Below is the writing assignment that I gave in class today:
A EULOGY is a speech or piece of writing that praises someone who has just died.
The people of Tom Sawyer’s town believed he has drowned. Imagine you are one of the following characters in the story:
Aunt Polly
Sid
Becky Thatcher
Mary
Write a eulogy for Tom from that person’s point of view. Here are some things you could include:
A short life history of the person
Details about family and friends
Favorite quotes, Bible scripture, or books (remember what Tom liked to read)
Best memories about Tom
