For Tuesday, 4/15/14
1. Read the handout that I gave you about meter in poetry (front and back). Read over the four poems that I gave you and decide what meter you think each of them has. Give both the rhythmic pattern (iambic, trochaic, anapestic, or dactylic) and the number of feet you think it has (____-meter). Write this information next to the poem on the handout, under the rhyme scheme you wrote. Then make a paper to turn in with the title of the poem, the rhyme scheme, and the meter written out on it for each of the four poems. Have this paper hot-dog bun style ready to turn in when you walk in the door or I will not take it and you will get a zero.
2. Continue with your story as indicated below:
THEME STORY (Please read each item below carefully!)
* Your completed theme story must be at least 5 full pages--but no more than 15 full pages--long.
* Do not email your paper to Markup unless it has been proofread well by both you and your parents and then corrected again!!

* Do not email your paper to Markup except at the following graded points:

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 Thursday, May 1.
+ Bear in mind that your monthly blog post entry is 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 the four 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.
