Milo has certainly grown as a character throughout his journey in The Phantom Tollbooth! We did character selfies for Milo at the beginning of the book, and are now working on them for the end.

As we are now done reading the novel, we are starting on our Phantom Tollbooth debate projects! The students were introduced to their three options for the projects today in class, and got time to start working on them. Below is a link to the document the students were given that describes each option and provides a rubric for each project so they know exactly how they will be  graded. Projects are due on Monday, 3/7, at the end of their class period. They will be getting additional time to work on them throughout next week and all class period that Monday. I’ve told them in class (You can remind them at home, too!) that the due date is not changing, so they need to use their time wisely! In addition to class time, they’re always welcome to sign up for the study halls we host Monday-Thursday. They will be using their projects to support their claim in the Phantom Tollbooth debate we will have after completion. It should be fun to see these kids defend their stance!
