HW from 2/4/10

Due on 2/9/10:

* Continue to do assigned reading and mark your Reading Log. You are aiming for 20 minutes daily. Be sure to keep marking the list of books, and let me know when you need a new one. Your current Reading Log will be due, signed by your parent, on the last class period of the month.

* You do not need to complete any more of your story. (Of course, this does not apply to Toluwani and Rey, who need to send me their revised drafts as soon as possible via email. You are getting behind!)

* Please complete copywork, using the following quotation from Roverandom by J.R.R. Tolkien, for class on Tuesday. I will also email it to you as an attachment.

And so they came suddenly to a sheer precipice, not very high, but dark and polished like jet. Looking over, Roverandom saw below a garden in twilight; and as he looked it changed to the soft glow of an afternoon sun, though he could not see where the soft light came from that lit all that sheltered place and never strayed beyond. Grey fountains were there, and long lawns; and children everywhere, dancing sleepily, walking dreamily, and talking to themselves. Some stirred as if just waking from deep sleep; some were already running, wide awake and laughing: they were digging, gathering flowers, building tents and houses, chasing butterflies, kicking balls, climbing trees; and all were singing.

"Where do they all come from?" asked Roverandom, bewildered and delighted.

"From their homes and beds, of course," said the Man.
