HW from Thursday, 11/17/16

Due BEFORE Tuesday, 11/29/16
1) Please pray today and tomorrow for my surgery tomorrow morning (Friday, 11/18)! 
I report at 6 a.m. for a 7:30 surgery that lasts about an hour. I will be in recovery for another hour or so. It should all be over by 9 or 9:30. Thanks for prayers for a safe, effective procedure and for a quick recovery, so that I can enjoy the Thanksgiving break with my kids who are home from college!

2) Today (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday): Email the corrected, double-spaced draft of your character sketch (which you've already printed and turned in to me) as an attachment to my Markup address! Please do this ASAP, today or tomorrow, so I will have it this weekend to mark it up and send it back to you during this break week.

3) I will send your marked up copy back to you sometime during the break week.

4) On Thursday, 11/24, have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING with your family!

5) On or before Monday, 11/28, please print the Markup copy I returned to you and make all the suggested corrections that I indicated to you on your character sketch. There probably won't be many, since this is the third time it's been proofed.

6) After you've done all the corrections, make the document single-spaced, give it a creative title, save it again as a separate draft, and email it to me as an attachment at my regular address. Also print a copy and bring it to class on Tuesday, 11/29/16—together with the Markup copy you printed.

Your final document should:

* Be single spaced

* Have our standard (single-spaced) header at the top with: 
Name: Your name here
Date Due: 11/29/16
Title: Character Sketch Final 
Word Count: ??? (your word count here)

* Have a blank (skipped) line after the header, then have your clever title for your paper (centered), then skip another line before the body of your paper begins. The body of your paper on this final draft will be single-spaced so I can post it on our website.

* Be set to print a page number on the bottom of each page  except the first page. (i.e. It should be in the footer, but please deselect "show page number on first page" such that your page number will only appear beginning with page 2. When I download your paper, I will be able to see if you have it set up to place an automatic page number in the footer even though it isn't putting "Page 1" on the first page.)

7) Don't forget to read, read, read during the break, and mark your Reading Log!

Also, daily:

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure, aiming for at least 30 minutes daily. Mark the number of minutes on your Reading Log (in multiples of five, rounded down) as you go along. 

+ Write in your Gratitude Journal, aiming for three things but listing at least one thing you are thankful for daily. When you have done so, place a check mark in the top corner of your Reading Log calendar for that day.

The November Reading Log is due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 12/1/16.
