HW from Thursday, 12/8/16

Due BEFORE Tuesday, 12/13/16

1) Make all corrections on the paper I handed back to you today (the red copy of your D2 of your thankfulness essay). Save the new, corrected draft as D3, then print it out.

2) Change the paper from third person point of view to first/second person point of view as we always do—by circling the words that need to be changed and then making the necessary changes by writing them in the blank lines between the printed text.

3) Go back into your saved D3 and make the changes you marked on your printed copy. Save this draft of your paper (the one in first/second person) as D4, then print out a copy. 

4) Email the D4 as an attachment to my Markup address before Monday (and preferably as soon as possible).

5) Continue to read in The Extraordinary, Ordinary Life of Mark Rodriguez. You will need to have read all of Part I (pp. 13-49) by the time we return from Christmas Break on January 3. You may read at your own pace over the next few days and weeks, but you should have read up to p. 50 by the time we return.

Also, daily:

+ Read your (approved) Reading Log 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.
