HW from 3/11/14

Due on Thursday, 3/13/14

1.  Nothing new is due tomorrow.  Make sure you've turned in all previous assignments and especially make sure you're caught up with the following:

* Be sure your first two memory verses are word perfect, and spend some time memorizing the third (which is due for recitation after Spring Break).  

* If you haven't done your March blog post yet, you might take advantage of the lighter homework load to do that, or some extra reading for the reading log.  (But those items are not due until the end of the month, as usual.)

* Be giving some thought about your final story: 
- What do you want your setting to be (time and place)? 
- Who will your characters be? 
- What events might you like to have as part of your plot? 
- What point-of-view are planning to use (first- or third-person?)
- What theme might you like to illustrate? (We'll talk more about theme tomorrow.)

2.  If you were confused and thought you did not need to do so, so you didn't turn one in yesterday, take the second open-notebook quiz using your notebook, your Writers Inc book, or any other resources that are not people.  The quiz, which was reformatted and contains the same material in a much better format, was emailed to you.  You did need to do it, regardless of how you feel you did on the first one. 

3.  Work on your mystery story as indicated in previous posts, if you haven't yet turned in a revised red copy.  You must do so tomorrow.

Also (daily):

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily.  Mark it on your reading log as you go along. The March reading log is due, signed by a parent, on  Tuesday, April 1.

+ Bear in mind that your monthly blog post entry in due anytime during the month.  Please type it up, email it to me, and turn in a hard copy to me in class before the last day of the month.  You may write about anything you would like to.  Follow the directions on the sheet I gave you for the 12-Months-of-2014 Blog Challenge.  (See handout.)

+ Work on your Scripture memory and Scripture memory review.  You need to be ready to recite any of your completed memory verses perfectly from memory any time I call on you in class.

+ 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.
