HW from 2/27/14

Due on Tuesday, 3/4/14

1.  Make any needed corrections as indicated on the graded copy of your gerund (3 -ing words) poem I gave you back in class on Thursday. Print a corrected copy (if yours wasn't perfect) and attach it to your graded copy.  (You will return it on Tuesday, for me to put in your writing folder.)  Please also email me a perfect copy so I can post it on the blog. 

2.  Write three cinquain poems as directed on the handout I gave you. Be sure to write one of each kind.  You will turn it in on Tuesday.  Please have it hot-dog-bun style, labeled, and ready to turn in as you walk in to class Tuesday. 

3.  Go to the blog and read your classmates' springboard poems ("I Am").  Decide which one you like best and send me an email telling me why.

4.  Get your notebook organized and in good order.  I will be giving you an open-notebook quiz on Tuesday--which will focus mainly on plot and poetry, but anything we've studied so far is fair game.  You will not be permitted to use your a Writers Inc book or your classmates during the open-notebook quiz, just your notebook. 

5.  Your signed reading log for February is due Tuesday.  Begin keeping track of your March reading on the new log I gave you, starting Saturday, 3/1/14. 

6.  Work on your Scripture memory and Scripture memory review.  You need to be ready to recite your first two (completed) memory verses perfectly from memory anytime I call on you in class beginning this Tuesday.

7.  Continue to work on your mystery story as indicated:  Once your D1 is graded and you have your red copy back, revise your D1 as indicated on your red copy into a perfect final draft (your D2).  You will turn in the D2 in as soon as it is ready.

Also (daily):

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily.  Mark it on your reading log as you go along. The February reading log is due, signed by a parent, on our next class, Tuesday, March 4.

+ 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.
