1) Make the suggested corrections to your essay on your favorite season and save it as D3. Then make the document single-spaced, make sure your header is correct, make sure you have a creative title, and save it again as Final Draft. Print the beautiful single-spaced final draft and add it to the stapled stack, which should be in this order:

Essay Planning Worksheet
D1 (proofread and signed by you and your parent)
D2 ("red copy," proofread by me)
Beautiful final draft for the website
2) Next, finish completing your Essay Planning Worksheet (EPW) for your thankfulness essay (on things you're thankful for about your parents). Study your list of ten things you made you're thankful about, then figure out three natural categories that the items on your list seem to fall into. Write each of those categories onto one of the category spots of your EPW.

Write each of those categories onto one of the category spots of your EPW.
NOTE: Below is a list of some categories you came up with today as we were working together in class. Feel free to use some of these ideas as you plan your essay. In other words, you don't have to stick to your original list of ten, or to what you wrote on the EPW in class. If you want to modify things as you go along, that's fine. Just be sure to change them on the EPW.
* ways they love me
* ways they provide for me
* how they homeschool me
* fun activities we do together
* ways they teach me
* how they're cool
* ways they are kind and thoughtful
* how they help me understand life and spiritual things
* how they help me understand life and spiritual things
* etc.
3) Once your specific items are written onto your essay planning worksheet, write the opening sentences for your paragraphs on your EPW. Complete the EPW fully before you try to write your paper!
4) Using your fully completed EPW, write your essay. Call it D1. Proofread it on screen, make corrections, and print it. Read over the printed D1, making note of anything you think should be changed. (Remember, you must always proofread your own paper before handing it to someone else to proofread for you.)
5) Print another (corrected, clean) copy and have someone who isn't a parent proofread it, too (and sign it). If you agree with them and think they're good suggestions, incorporate their suggestions. Save the corrected copy as D2.

Completed Essay Planning Worksheet
D1 (with suggested corrections and signature)
D2 (corrected version for me to grade)
You will turn this whole packet in at the beginning of class on Tuesday.
7) Your character sketches are posted (with the exception of a couple that are still outstanding). Click on the link in the sidebar of this homework blog to visit the publications blog and read each other's character sketches. (They are not long and it doesn't take long to read all of them.) Please decide which you like best, and write me a paragraph that explains which is your favorite and why. Send your document to me as an as an attachment to Markup, complete with a proper header and proper format. I am still making sure you all know how to format your documents, how to save them, and how to send them as attachments to whichever email I tell you to (Markup or regular).

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 December Reading Log is due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday, 1/3/17.
