Due on Thursday, 3/16/17
1) You should be ready to recite your second Scripture memory verse tomorrow. Also continue reviewing the verse you've already memorized, keeping it in your memory through daily review (as we discussed in class). You will be required to be able to recite it at any time you're called on, for the rest of the year.
2) Continue writing your mystery story. Be sure you are continuing suspense, using descriptive language (including figurative language), and crafting a careful, satisfying ending. The goal is to finish as quickly as possible without just giving up and rushing the conclusion.

* Add at least 3-4 pages per day until you are done.
* Carefully proofread your story, then have someone else proofread it, too.
* Email your story to me (as at attachment to my MarkUp address) when it is finished, if it is shorter than 15 pages, or when you have 15 pages complete.
* Do not send a paper that has not been carefully proofread several times by you and an adult! (AGAIN, since last time, because you've changed it, fixed it, and added some stuff; it is not the same paper they proofread before!)
* Text me whenever you send a document to MarkUp so I can check to make sure it has been received.
3) 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 at my regular email address to let me know when you have finished the book. You must have completed the book by the time we return from Spring Break, on Tuesday, 3/28.
4) Begin memorizing your "easy poem" for your first poem recitation, which will take place on the first Thursday after Spring Break, 3/30.
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.
