HW from 10/25/12

 Due on 10/30/12:
 
* Using the paper I wrote about my grandmother as a model, write your character description.  Be sure your character sketch includes each of the 7 ways we've discussed to enhance description!

NOTE:  The format for the paper is as follows: 
- double-spaced word processing document
- standard 1-inch margins
- Arial or Times New Roman font
- standard 5-space indentations for paragraphs
- do not skip an extra line between paragraphs
- header with your name and the title "Character Sketch" in the right-hand corner
- footer with a page number in the middle of the bottom
- at least two full pages, typed according to the above parameters

* Be prepared at any time for a quiz.  This will include the things we have studied so far regarding the 7 ways to enhance description in your writing, the list of the 5 senses, the 5 types of figurative language we have studied (three good to use and two not good to use), and the 2 elements of narration we have studied so far.  See the class website (see sidebar at left for a link) if you are not familiar with any of those things.  Also be sure you are prepared to properly apply the grammar lessons we have had so far, particularly how to correct/avoid run-on sentences and sentence fragments and how to correctly punctuate dialogue.

ALSO:
* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily.  Your Reading Log is due, signed by your parent, on Tuesday!
