HW from 5/9/13

Due on 5/14/13:

Pray for Gloria and her family as they walk through the pain of Ian's death. 

"May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you." - Psalm 33:22

* Be prepared for a poetry quiz at any time.

* Finish your theme story as quickly as possible, completing tasks in the following order:

1) Complete your D1 ASAP if you haven't done so yet!!  You're running out of time!  Print it out and have three people proofread it for errors and sign it.  

2) Edit and correct your paper based on their feedback, then email your revised draft to me at LauraSitterding@MarkupSync.com ASAP if you haven't done so yet!!  You're running out of time!

3) Receive back the "marked up" copy from me via email.  Make suggested changes and corrections.

4) Print a beautiful "perfect" copy of your revised paper (D2) to turn in during class.  You will need to turn in your signed D1 and your corrected D2 (and your Markup copy if you printed it) in class.

5) After you print it to turn it in, email me a copy of your D2 theme story at my regular email with the subject line "____'s theme story for the website" so I can post your story online.

* In the poetry packet I gave you, scan the following poems (scan = find the rhyme scheme and the rhythmic foot):

1) "A Baby's Feet" (p.38) - NOTE: read "heaven" as "heav'n" and "flower" as "flow'r" (1 syllable)

2) "Sisters" (p.39)
3) "The Quarrel" (p.41)
4) "A Child's Grace" (p.45)
5) "A Pop Corn Song" (p.45)
6) "Mr. Nobody" (p.49)

* Most all of the mystery stories are posted on the website.  If you have time, have fun reading your classmates' endings!

* Be prepared to recite any of your three memory verses at any time (Psalm 141:3, Titus 2:11-14, and Ephesians 4:29-32).  You might choose to review one verse each day so that they stay fresh in your mind. 

ALSO:
* Send me an email indicating that you have carefully read the homework blog and that you understand everything that is to be completed for the next class period.  You will receive extra credit this time if you write your notification with an ABAB rhyme scheme.

* Reading for Reading Log: 30 minutes daily. (May's Reading Log will be due, signed by your parent, on next Thursday, May 16.)

NOTE: Our standard paper parameters are as follows: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, 1-inch margins, double-spaced, with 5-space paragraph indentation and no extra lines between paragraphs.  Your final paper must be at least 5 full typewritten pages, but no more than 25 typewritten pages, when you turn it in.  You will add pages at a rate of two pages per homework day until your paper is finished.  Please turn in your D1 (see instructions above) as soon as it is complete if it is complete before the due date.

For Th, 5/16: Emily T.
