HW from Thursday, 5/1/14

For Tuesday, 5/6/14

1) Check the Student Writing Samples blog to see which items of yours are not yet posted and email the following items (well-labeled in the subject line with your name and what the attachment is) to CWcomputerhelper@gmail.com ASAP:

* springboard poem if not there yet—check first!

* "I Am" poem if not there yet—check first!

* Jan. blog post if not there yet—check first!

* Feb. blog post if not there yet—check first!

* final D2 of your mystery story

* March blog post

* April blog post

2) Write in your writer's notebook each day.  Time yourself and write for at least five minutes.  You are writing a second-person journal addressed to the Lord.  In second-person point of view, you will use first-, second-, and third-person pronouns as you write directly to someone—in this case, God—about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.  Feel free to make requests, as well.  This is almost like writing down your prayers.  Tell the Lord, and ask from Him, whatever you like. 
NOTE: These thoughts are private between you and God.  I will not read them but will only skim them enough to be sure you really are completing the assignment.  You should have at least five entries by the time you return to class on Tuesday. 

3) Your revised, corrected, proofread story (D1) is due Tuesday.   Late papers will be accepted after Tuesday but will lose points.  It is better to turn in your paper late than to turn it in before it is well-revised!

The following items will need to be in your envelope with your perfect-as-you-can-make-it D1:

1) Preliminary planning worksheet for your theme story.

2) Plot line chart for your theme story.

3) Printed Markup of the initial homework assignment you turned in (first 3 paragraphs of story).

4) Printed Markup of your graded G1 (first 4 pages of your story).

5) Printed Markup of your graded G2 (first 10 pages of your story).

6) Beautiful, printed copy of your corrected, proofread, edited, corrected, perfected D1 (entire story).

Please place the items in your envelope in that order (from bottom to top) so that the first thing I see when I pull out the whole pile is your D1 on top, with your preliminary planning worksheet on the bottom.

NOTE: If you haven't turned in or resubmitted your G2 yet, you must get it to me on Markup ASAP so I can grade it and you will still have time to revise it.  I have graded and returned all G2s that I have received into Markup. 

4) Your monthly blog post entry for May will be the poem you wrote for the HSLDA poetry contest.  It is due by May 15.  Please type it up, email it to CWcomputerhelper@gmail.com, and turn in a hard copy to me in class on or before May 15.

Also (daily):

 + Work on your Scripture memory and 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.

+ Your monthly blog post entry for May will be the poem you wrote for the HSLDA poetry contest.  It is due by May 15.  Please type it up, email it to CWcomputerhelper@gmail.com, and turn in a hard copy to me in class on or before May 15.

+ 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.

+ 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.
