Due on Thursday, 3/9/17
1) Continue memorizing the verse you chose, preparing to recite it in front of the class. You must be ready to recite the verse, should I call on you, by Thursday.
2) Read over the handout about cinquain poetry I sent you via email this afternoon. Follow the directions on the handout and have your poems ready to turn in at the beginning of class on Thursday.
3) Continue working on your mystery story. I will return your D2s on Thursday, but you should continue writing your story, adding at least 2-3 pages each day, until you are finished. Be sure you are continuing suspense, using descriptive language (including figurative language), and crafting a careful, satisfying ending. Don't rush the conclusion!
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.
