HW from Thursday, 11/9/17

Due on Tuesday, 11/14/17

1) Read pages 15-49 in the Mark Rodriguez book. You may read more if you would like, but you should read through all of Part I (to page 49) before next Tuesday.

2) Visit this link and read the article about keeping your room clean. (Yes, I'm serious!) 

"What? First it was 'making my bed' and now it’s 'cleaning my room'? What does that have to do with creative writing?" you might ask. 

Go visit the link and then come back and we'll talk...

3) Go make your bed and clean your room. (Yes, I'm serious! Trust me. You'll thank me!) Get your room as tidy and cleaned up as you can. 

4) Have your parent sign a paper that indicates that you made your bed and tidied up your room and that it looks great.

5) Speaking of the benefits of having things orderly and tidy, please get your notebook in perfect order before Tuesday. File all the papers in the correct sections and be sure everything is in the right place. I will be checking your notebook on Tuesday.

6) Be prepared for a quiz on everything learned so far on Tuesday. Don’t freak out! Just review all your notes as you organize your notebook, and be sure you remember all the things listed under “Topics of Study, Quarter 1” on our class website. You'll do great!

7) Pray for my wrists especially, but also my hands and knee, to heal quickly and completely. It still hurts a good bit to use my arms for writing or lifting, so grading and household tasks are proving quite difficult. I need to be able to use my arms freely! Thanks!

Also, daily:

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure, aiming for 30 minutes daily. Mark the number of minutes on your Reading Log as you go along—in multiples of five, rounded down—and have a parent initial it in the box each day. The November Reading Log will be due on Thursday, 11/30/17. 

+ Make your bed! :)
