Due on Tuesday, 3/7/17
1) Finish your third stanza of "My Evening Prayer" (in your writer's notebook) if you didn't finish it yesterday. Do not forget to bring your writer's notebook back to KEYS with you on Tuesday!
2) Read over the handout about Scripture memory I sent you via email this morning. We will be memorizing verses to recite in front of the class over the next few weeks, in preparation for future poetry recitation. Choose one of the two verses and begin memorizing it according to the directions and suggestions in the handout. You must be ready to begin reciting your verse by next Thursday.
3) Continue working on your mystery story. I will be grading your D2s this weekend, but you should continue writing your story this weekend as well. Add at least four pages, and more if you are able. Be sure you are continuing suspense, using descriptive language (including figurative language), and crafting a careful, satisfying ending. Don't rush it!
4) Continue reading The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of Mark Rodriguez. Your goal is to finish reading the book as soon as possible. Please send me an email to let me know when you have finished the book.
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 calendar (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 small check mark in the top corner of your Reading Log calendar for that day.
NOTE: The March Reading Log will be due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, 3/30/17.
