HW from 4/26/12

Due on 5/1/12:

* Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily. Mark it on your Reading Log, which will be due (signed by your parent) on our next class!!


* Remember to add at least five specific--not general--things to your "thankfulness list" before the next class period.

* Continue with your story, adding at least four pages by next Tuesday.  Remember to focus on theme, not plot.  If you get stuck, give us a good description of a setting, or break into a meaningful dialogue between characters.  Remember that everything is working towards completing a course of action that demonstrates your theme.  Don't worry about a super-exciting plot!!  See previous blog entries for story requirements.

* Please print the new pages you add to your story and bring them to class on Tuesday.  I have the first however-many pages you gave me--at least five.  You don't need to re-print those!

* Keep reviewing all your memory work. You must remain prepared at any time to recite your memory work, which consists of:
+ four Bible verses (I Chronicles 29:11-13, Philippians 4:4-8, Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 4:29-32)

+ the poem you selected to memorize and recite to the class

+ the William Blake poem "The Lamb"

+ the first stanza of the Barry Cornwall poem "The Sea"
