HW from 2/12/13

Due on 2/14/13:

* Go to this blog post and read the entry about your amazing brain and its ability to read.  (This will take you to my blog.)  When you email me your gerund poem, also let me know whether you could read and understand the selections or not.

* Finish your gerund poem, using the parameters given in class:

Line 1 = single noun
Line 2 = 3 gerunds
Line 3 = noun phrase
Line 4 = phrase (request or statement)
Line 5 = single adjective

NOTE: Here is a sample gerund poem:

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

* Type and print your gerund poem and email it to me before class on Thursday.

* Continue working on your story, adding at least two pages per "homework day" between classes until it is done.  Please try to finish up as soon as possible!

NOTE: Once your story is logically finished in a way that is pleasing to you, you do not need to add any more pages.  (Duh!)  Your finished story must be more than 5 full pages but no more than 25 full pages when completed.  Refer to the grading rubric Evie gave you for information about how your story will be graded.

* Be ready to recite your memory verse at any time.

ALSO:
* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily. (Reading Log is usually due, signed by parent, at the end of the month.  This month it will be due on Thursday, February 28.)
