HW from 1/14/14

Due on Thursday, 1/16/14

1.  Correct the two vignettes I sent you back from Markup.  Make sure the format for the paper is correct in every way and that you have revised and corrected your story as suggested.  You may add more vignettes if you would like to, but you do not need to for tomorrow.

2.  Print a copy of the two corrected vignettes (and any others you may have chosen to add). Staple it (and the Markup copy, if you printed it) with the grading sheet I gave you yesterday.  Be sure your name is showing on the grading sheet and that you have it ready to turn in at the start of class tomorrow.

3.  Study for a test tomorrow.  It may contain information from any time this year, but it will primarily focus on the materials learned during the second quarter.  Be sure to review your notes on:

* point of view (including first-, second-, and third-person)
* consistency and agreement regarding tense (past or present), number (singular or plural), and gender (male or female)
* correctly punctuating dialogue
* avoiding sentence fragments and run-on sentences
* understanding the differences between frequently confused homonyms: its/it's; there/their/they're; to/too/two; hear/here; wear/where/were; etc.

NOTE: You may find it helpful to visit the class website and look over the items listed under Topics of Study (Q.1 and Q.2) in the left sidebar.  (We have not yet studied foreshadowing/suspense, so you won't be responsible for that.)

Also (daily):

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily.  Mark it on your reading log as you go along. The January reading log is due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, January 30, 2014. 

+ Review daily the material from our writing and grammar lessons in class so that you can more easily learn and memorize (as we go along) the different things we are studying.  Be ready for a quiz anytime on all that we've learned so far.
