HW from 9/12/13

Due on Tuesday, 9/17/13

1.  Write three good, descriptive sentences that are better than the basic sentence, "The child cried." (This will be like what we did in class today with, "The man walked.")

NOTE: Make sure you use each of the six ways we talked about to enhance descriptive writing somewhere in the assignment--but not all six in each of the sentences! 

---> If you didn't take good notes in class, learn to take notes during a writing lesson (WL) or a grammar lesson (GL) when discussed in class!  But you may also always check the class website to see if you can find the information listed there.  There is a link to the Creative Writing homepage from this homework blog--see the left sidebar.

2.  Be sure you understand, know, and can list and explain those ways we talked about enhancing description in your writing. So far, we've only discussed the first six listed in the Topics of Study in the left sidebar of the Creative Writing homepage.

3.  Memorize the five senses using the following exact words in this exact order:
look
smell
taste
sound
feel

Also (daily):

* Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily.  Mark it on your reading log as you go along.  The current reading log is due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
