HW from 10/11/12

Due on 10/16/12:

* Write a paragraph (at least five good sentences) describing the person you have chosen.  Your person may be real or fictional but must be human.  I need to know something of the physical description, but I must also know at least one thing about the person's character from your description.




* On a separate sheet of paper, write a dialogue between your person of choice (the one you described in your paragraph) and one other person.  Each speaker must speak at least five times.  Please be sure you have at least ten good sentences of dialogue, even if your dialogue ends up being longer than five things spoken by each person.

NOTE: Your dialogue must be correctly punctuated.  Please first find a conversation in a novel and notice how it is punctuated.  Then refer to section 468.3 on page 468 of your Writer's Inc. book or to the rules listed on the class webpage under Topics of Study, Quarter 1 for a review of how to correctly punctuate dialogue.
 

ALSO:
* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily. (Reading Log is due, signed by parent, at the end of the month.  This month it will be due on Tuesday, October 30.)

* Look for and find one of the following (in print--bring the print material with you):
+ a description you like of a place, OR
+ an example each of both a simile and a metaphor.
We only read the place descriptions in class last week.  Please be sure to have your simile/metaphor examples with you next class, if that's what you chose to do.
