HW from 1/9/14

Due ON and BEFORE Tuesday, 1/14/14

1.  Continue to be thinking about the mystery story and deciding what you think is going on.  What has happened in this story--and what is going to happen in this story--according to you, who will continue it?

Brainstorm at least three different possible situations about what you think could be going on in the story.  In each of the three different situations indicate: (1) who the people he called "creatures" are, (2) what David's involved in  (3) what his note to his mother said, and (4) what his plan is.   
NOTE: These will be three totally different ideas about what's going on in the story.  You will turn this in on Tuesday in class.  (Label each situation well.)

2.  After you have completed #1, decide which of the three ideas you came up with (in #1) that you'd like to go with.  Then decide what you want the next vignettes to be. You have four options at this point:

A) You could continue with the Cathy vignette since no line was drawn. [She is on the couch in her living room going through her bag with the letter from David in it.]

B) You could draw a line and switch to a David vignette. [He is in the library basement talking with the people.]

C) You could draw a line and switch to a Richard vignette. [He is on his way to room 228, heading into the dorm after having gone to the cafeteria for dinner.]

D) You could draw a line and switch to a vignette with a new character. (Do this only if you plan to introduce a new main character to the story for some reason.)

3.  Write the next two vignettes. (Cathy counts as one, if you continue with that one.). They may be as long or as short as they need to be, but note that longer vignettes are more effective at moving the plot of the story forward.NOTE: Follow the standard format for typed papers, labeling the story as "Mystery Story" in the header.

4.  Email your two vignettes as a Word document (attachment) to my Markup address by Monday at noon.  DO NOT write more than two vignettes until I have read your first two and given you an okay to continue!

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.
