Read and Write! Start with O. Henry!

 Last year the four kids in Composition class all loved to read.  This year, the kids are totally different!  Reading goes right along with writing.  So I’m adding a few short stories, beginning with The Ransom of Red Chief.  The essay will be about the funniest aspect of the story.  (We’ll do The Gift of the Magi later with an essay about sacrificial love.)  Since I’m going to need to add a little grammar, too, Composition is becoming more of an English class.  I’ll let you know how things go!
