Due on Thursday, 1/26/17
1) Proofread the two pages of your mystery story that you printed out to turn in yesterday. Please do not ever turn in a paper without proofreading it!
Some things to look for:
- Make sure you haven't lapsed into present tense! This story began in third-person, past-tense narration, so it must continue that way.
- Make sure your dialogue is correctly punctuated.
- Make sure you don't have any run-on sentences or comma splices.
- Make sure you have correctly punctuated direct address (which we talked about yesterday in class). It must be set off by commas. [Ex. "Steve, do you think he is okay?"]
- Make sure you have correctly punctuated proper nouns (capitalized) and terms of endearment (not capitalized).
- Make sure your formatting is all correct (header, footer, double-spacing, no extra lines between paragraphs, etc.)
Call me if you have any trouble with any of this!
2) After you have proofed it yourself, have one other person proofread it as well. (Do not show it to another student in either of the Creative Writing classes!)
3) Make all corrections that were necessary, then hit {enter} to go onto a third blank page in your document (if it didn't go onto the third page already). This is so I have room to make comments if needed. Save it as {Your Name, two pages}.
4) Print a copy to bring to class tomorrow, and then also send it to my Markup address. Be sure your name and the name of the assignment are in both the document title and the email subject line.
5) Continue thinking about and planning your story in your mind. What is going to happen next? What events are going to be involved in the plot? How are you going to wrap things up?
Draw out a plot line diagram and list several things you are planning during the rising action, what you plan to have as the climax of the story, and a couple of things you plan to include in the falling action. Bring this chart, clearly legible, to class tomorrow.
6) Choose a Scripture passage that is meaningful to you that you will use for your first "verse paper" for the Opening. I will model what this will look like for you tomorrow, but for now, just choose the passage you would like to write about, type it out—or copy and paste it from an online Bible in your chosen version (www.biblegateway.com is a good one)—then print it and bring it to class tomorrow.
+ 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.

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 second half of your January Reading Log will be due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 2/2/17.
