Due BEFORE Tuesday, 4/18/17
1) Before you begin your theme story, format your document as follows:
* Create a 3-line header, formatted as follows:
Your Name, CWA/B
Theme Story, Your Future Title Here (don't choose yet)
D?, 4/?/17, ?? words
* Create a footer, designed to automatically put the page number at the bottom of each page.
* Be sure your document is formatted to include 1-inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font, and automatic double spacing. Remove the extra line before/after paragraphs.

2) Bearing in mind what we discussed in class today about combining setting, character, and plot—and modeling the examples from the Mitford series that we read together in class—begin your story. (Don't forget to also use your completed handout entitled "Theme Story Planning" if that is helpful.)
3) Once you have written the first few paragraphs (i.e. you've typed at least one full page and gone onto the second page), proofread it and make sure you think it's perfect, then email the document as an attachment to my MarkUp address. (NOTE: I would like you to send this as early as possible—BEFORE the weekend!—because it is Easter weekend and it will be difficult for me to read it over and get it back to you once my son arrives home Saturday morning.)
4) I will return your formatted, <1-page-and-a-little-more> theme story document back to you, with comments, before class on Tuesday. Please print this MarkUp copy and bring it with you to class on Tuesday, 4/18/17.

5) Now that you've finalized your decision about the next poem you will memorize for recitation, memorize it! Be prepared to turn in your good printed copy on Tuesday, 4/18/17. Make sure you have at least two of your stanzas memorized by next Thursday, 4/20.
6) You should be ready to recite any of the three verses you've memorized at any time. Keep reviewing the memory daily. (See below.)
-------
OPENING (Bible verse and prayer):
For Tu, 4/18: John (CWA); Caleb (CWB)
For Th, 4/20: Josh (CWA); Katie (CWB)
For Tu, 4/25: TBA
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 daily, listing at least three things you are thankful for each day. When you have done so, place a small check mark in the top corner of your Reading Log calendar for that day.
