HW from 4/7/11

Due on 4/12/11:
* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily. (Reading Log is due, signed by parent, at the end of the month.)

* Work on your stories as follows:

FRIDAY:
1) Spend 30 minutes thinking/planning/taking notes regarding the plot of your story.  What is going to happen?  What will be the main conflict/climax?  How do you plan to wrap it up?  Take notes, which you will turn in on Tuesday.
2) Write your story for 30 minutes.  Use the timer, and add 30 minutes' worth of steady writing to your story.  Email it to me in the correct format.  (12 pt. Arial font, double-spaced, with a header containing your name on the far right and a footer containing a page number at the bottom of the page in the center.)  Send it to me before the weekend, if possible, or as early in the weekend as possible.

MONDAY:
1) Write your story for 30 minutes again.  Use the timer, and add 30 minutes' worth of steady writing to your story.  Email it to me.
2) Write a description in whichever area you did NOT start your story with.  For example, if you started your story with a description of a setting, now write a description of one of your characters.  If you started your story with character, then now write a descriptive setting.  You do not have to work it into your story yet, although you will be doing so later.  This will be a separate sheet you will turn in tomorrow.

TO TURN IN on Tuesday:
1) The notes/planning page from Friday.
2) A copy of your story as it now stands.
3) The description of your setting/character from Monday.
