Due on Tuesday, 9/24/13
1. If you didn't, finish your writer's notebook entry. You are giving three good examples each of simile, metaphor, and personification. Make up good, descriptive sentences. Do not use hyperbole or idiom.
2. Remember to bring your writer's notebook back to class on Tuesday if you took it home to finish!
3. Think of the place you'd like to write your descriptive paper about. Make a chart of five sections, listing one of your five senses at the top of each section. Write three good, descriptive sentences about your place under each section--look, smell, taste, sound, feel. (This will be fifteen sentences total.)
NOTE: You may organize your sheets of paper however you would like, as long as I can easily read which sentences go with which sense. Not also that "taste" is challenging for some places. Do your best to come up with something if you can. I will not count off if your place does not lend itself to a lot of description in the area of "taste."
4. Be sure you understand, know, and can list and explain those ways we talked about enhancing description in your writing. So far, we've discussed all seven listed in the Topics of Study in the left sidebar of the Creative Writing homepage (Quarter 1).
5. Learn and memorize (as we go along) the different types of figurative language we're studying. There are five of them, three that are good to use in creative writing (simile, metaphor, personification) and two we want to avoid in creative writing (hyperbole, idiom).
6. 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.
