HW from Tuesday, 1/3/17

Due on Thursday, 1/5/17

1) In your Writers Inc. book, read the entries for plot and plot line on p.259. Copy down both definitions, then look up and copy definitions for each of the five parts in the plot line diagram as well. You should have seven definitions total: plot, plot line, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. These words are all found in the section of the book called "Literary Terms," beginning on p. 253.

2) Read pp. 50-72 in The Extraordinary, Ordinary Life of Mark Rodriguez.

3) Finish the classwork handout you did, translating the Bible verse from past tense to present tense. You should have a complete handwritten copy of the corrected paper to turn in on Thursday.

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 January Reading Log is due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 2/2/17.
