HW from Thursday, 1/12/17

Due BEFORE Tuesday, 1/17/17

1) Make a chart with three columns headed David, Cathy, and Richard. (This is like the chart we made on the board at the end of class today.) 

Under each heading, list each location for that character from each scenario, ending with where we last left the character at the last scenario we saw for them. For instance, David's column will have the following:
David
office/field
Culver library
basement
room with the people

Complete the chart for each of those three characters. You will be continuing this chart each time you write a new scenario, to help you keep track of where your characters were when you last left them, when you come back to them in a new scenario.

2) Page four of your mystery story ends with a scenario where Cathy is settling down on her couch leafing through her mail. She has just noticed a particular piece of mail and exclaimed, "What's this?" 

When you continue the story, you will have four options: continue with Cathy's scenario, draw a line and switch to David, draw a line and switch to Richard, or draw a line and switch to a different character. (Note: If you are introducing a new character, you will have to do it clearly and well so that we can easily follow what's going on.)

Decide which of those four options you are planning to do and type it into a Word document. Tell which you will do and why, save it, and email it to me at my regular email, as an attachment with a proper heading! The name of the assignment is next scene.

3) Copy Proverbs 6:20-23a, then identify any similes and metaphors you find in this passage. You will turn this is on Tuesday.

4) Read pp. 141-156 in The Extraordinary, Ordinary Life of Mark Rodriguez. Those entries are a countdown leading up to Mark's mission trip to Nicaragua. On page 213, Mark is back home in the United States.

Pages 157-213 contain entries written while Mark was in Nicaragua. Although you certainly may read pp.157-212 if you would like to, you are NOT required to. You may just skim those pages. Notice that the format and the way Mark wrote while on his mission trip in Nicaragua were a little bit different style than his journal usually was. That is sufficient for those pages.

Please finish up by reading p.213, when Mark is back home.

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.

NOTE: The first half of your January Reading Log is due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 1/19/17—the last day of the second quarter. (The second half of your January Reading Log will be due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 2/2/17.)
