Due on Thursday, 2/2/17
1) Make all suggested grammatical and format corrections to the first two pages of your mystery story, which I returned to you today in class. If you have content changes or significant writing changes to do, save those for after you've completed the other work below, but before you begin writing more of your story.
2) Write a good, 2-3 sentence description of a particular setting in your mystery story. It can be any setting of your choosing. Write descriptively, using some of the techniques we've learned in class. You will add this description into your story later, at an appropriate point, but for now you will just write it in isolation. Be prepared to turn it in on Thursday, typed and proofread.
3) Do the same thing as above (in #2) but for a particular character in your mystery story. We are probably discovering about your characters mostly through dialogue at this point, but don't forget the power of a good description! Write descriptively of your character's appearance or actions. You will add this description into your story later, at an appropriate point, but for now, just write it in isolation. Be prepared to turn it in on Thursday, typed and proofread.
4) Catch up on your reading in God Is Super Good. I would like you to have read through page 222 by Thursday. Remember, you were free to skip (or rather, quickly skim) pp. 158-212—when Mark was in Nicaragua—if desired. Of course, you may read them if you'd like, but you are not required to. Use the extra time to get caught up, if you need it.
5) After you have completed all of the above, if you want to continue with your mystery story, you are welcome to—but not required to—for Thursday.
6) Bring your Gratitude Journal to class on Thursday. I will give you credit for the daily thankfulness entries you have been making.
Also, daily:
+ 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.
