HW from 2/19/13

Due on 2/19/13: 

NOTE: Today, you will be sending me an email with THREE things in it.  Please do not send me the email until you have all three things ready to send at once.  Thanks!  See below for the particulars...

* Revise your springboard poem, addressing all errors noted on the paper I returned to you.  Once you have revised it, email a perfect copy to me, together with your vote for your favorite gerund poem and your song lyrics. (See details below.)

* Link to the Student Writing Samples site (see left sidebar) and read your classmates' gerund poems.  When you send me an email with your revised springboard poem, also indicate which gerund poem is your favorite and send your song lyrics.  (These are under the heading "A Window Inside" on the Student Writing Samples blog.)

* Choose lyrics to a song that demonstrates a clear rhyme scheme (rhyming pattern), similar to those we looked at yesterday in class.  Be sure you type it up in such a way that the rhyming words appear clearly at the ends of the lines and the rhyming pattern is apparent--but you don't need to analyze the rhyme scheme of the poem and write the A-B-C letters on there!) Email this as a separate attachment when you email your springboard poem and your vote for favorite gerund poem.  (See details below.)

DETAILS: Please tell me in the body of your email which was your favorite gerund poem.  Please send the other two things (your song lyrics and your springboard poem) as two separate Word attachments.

*  Bring all three of your memory verse cards to class on Thursday (Psalm 141:3, Titus 2:11-14, and Ephesians 4:29-32).  You will begin reciting your second memory verse next Tuesday.

* Work to finish your mystery story.  A complete draft (D1) between 5 and 25 pages will be due for all of you by Tuesday of next week.  Please proofread it and make this draft as perfect as you know how to make it.  (NOTE: Most of you have already turned in this D1.)

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.)
