HW from 1/7/14

Due on Thursday, 1/9/14 - Mrs. Sitterding's birthday :)

1.  Reread the start of the David story from first to last.  Be considering what you think might be going on in the story--after all, you will be the one who gets to decide that!--as you go along.
 
2.  Be sure you have numbered each line-separated vignette in your copy of the story and that your chart showing the various characters and settings that are present in each vignette is complete.  
NOTE: This is the chart we made on the board together as we read the story today in class.  Be sure your chart contains all 13 vignettes.

For example:
      (1) David        office, field outside office, on the way to the library
      (2) Cathy        office, on the way home         Etc.

Continue for each vignette.  Note that you may have many listings each for David, Cathy, Richard, etc.  Just make a new, complete list item for each change of vignette.  If many people are in the vignette, list all of them.  If the vignette includes many settings, list all of them.

3.  Brainstorm at least five reasonable possibilities of what you think the thing in his pocket could be.  (Remember, you are continuing the story, so it will be whatever you say it is!)

4.  Look up the following literary terms in your Writer's Inc. book and copy (or type) the definition for each onto a piece of paper:

+ foreshadowing - p.137, p.237
+ epiphany - p.235
+ suspense - look up in the dictionary
+ vignette - look up in dictionary or use link above
+ plot - p.239
+ exposition - p.235
+ rising action - p.240
+ climax - p.234
+ falling action - p.235
+ resolution/denouement - p.234, p.240

NOTE: Page numbers are from the 2001 edition of the Writer's Inc. book.  If you have a different edition, you will likely have to locate the definitions on different pages.  Use the index and table of contents.

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.
