Due on Tuesday, 10/1/13
1. Be sure you have completed the reading and definitions in your Writer's Inc book that were due on Thursday, 9/26.
2. Your September reading log is due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday, 10/1.
3. Your "descriptive setting" paper is due on Tuesday, 10/1. You will write a descriptive paper about a favorite place. Do not tell a story, although you may insert yourself in the description if you wish. Remember, be descriptive (don't give a "weather report") without being flowery (don't overdo it and make it silly). Also, be sure to incorporate at least one example of good figurative language in your description.
Please observe the following parameters:
* Length: at least 300 words, but no more than 500 words
* Format: 1-inch margins, double-spaced, no extra lines, 12-point Times New a Roman or Arial font
* Header (on top right of each page, single-spaced): your full name, date due, and paper title [descriptive setting]
* Footer (on bottom center of each page): page number
* Two drafts: The first one must be proofread by you, a parent, and one other person (get signatures). The second one should be the corrected one. Staple the two drafts together, with the beautiful copy on top. Do not fold your papers.
NOTE: If you have any questions about how to do any of these things in your word processor, check with your parents or an older sibling or friend. If you still need help, feel free to call me.
4. 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 that we want to avoid in creative writing (hyperbole, idiom).
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, next Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
