HW from 2/7/12

Due on 2/9/12:

* Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily. Mark it on your Reading Log!

* Complete a second poem in the form you used in class in your writer's notebook. See form and example below:

Phrase (request or statement)
Adjective

---

Leaves
Rustling, Dancing, Whispering
Voice of God
Speak to me
Open

* Read the sample Springboard Poem on p.182 of your Writer's Inc. book. Study the form of the poem and write down any "rules" you see that might apply to this form of poetry.

* Return your signed report card, if you haven't already.

* Be prepared with all three of your Scripture memory verses (I Chronicles 29:11-14, Philippians 4:4-8, and either Titus 2:11-14 or Ephesians 4:29-32) at any time! Keep reviewing all three because you will be expected to keep all memorized verses in your mind all year! Review one verse each day to keep them fresh! You will have a quiz on these on Thursday.

* Finish your mystery story, if you haven't. Your completed, proofread story (D2) is due as soon as possible. Be sure it is formatted according to the criteria listed below, and that the plot line is satisfying to the reader. Email it to me as an attachment entitled "Your name's mystery story D2" (ex. Laurie's mystery story D2).

CORRECT FORMAT FOR MYSTERY STORY:

+ Create a header that will put your name and the title of your story on the right top corner of each page. Do not skip any lines in this header.

+ Create a footer that will automatically number your pages in the center of the bottom of each page. Do not skip any lines in the footer.

+ Be sure your paper is in a word processing program and that it is double-spaced, with one-inch margins, using 12-point Times New Roman font. Do not have any sections of your paper written any larger or smaller than 12-point font.

+ On the blank line between scenarios, put three dashes, like this: ---
