Due BEFORE Tuesday, 2/14/17
1) Make sure your springboard poem is typed in the proper format. (See sample poem in previous assignment.) Then make the poem double spaced, save the document as "Your Name, Springboard Poem D1," and then email it as an attachment to my Markup address.
2) Make all needed corrections to the D1 of your mystery story. Read over it. Make adjustments and improvements as necessary. Read it over again. Listen to how it sounds. Be sure those first few pages are really good before you move on.
3) Continue working on your mystery story. Be sure the action is unfolding at a good pace—not too fast—and that you're building suspense and interest as you go along. Remember the ways we learned to enhance description in our writing. Use them! Be descriptive! You will need to continue your story so that it is between 1500 and 2000 (proofread, wonderful) words by Tuesday. The story does not need to be finished at that point.
4) I will email back your marked up springboard poem. Once you receive it (before Monday), make any suggested corrections, then return it to the proper single-spaced format that appears in the example above.
5) Save the poem as "Your Name, Springboard Poem D2," and then email it as an attachment to my regular email address. (ASAP again!) I will post them on the SWS Blog as soon as I get them. Please also print a copy of this D2, staple it to the top of the old proofread copies, and bring the whole packet to class on Tuesday.
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 February Reading Log will be due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday, 2/28/17.
