HW from Tuesday, 11/14/17

Due on Thursday, 11/16/17

1) Read pages 50-72 in the Mark Rodriguez book. As you read, notice how the tone of Mark’s journaling changes and matures as he gets older. Write down as many different ways of journaling (styles of writing, points of view, subjects, etc.) as you can think of that Mark demonstrates in his writing. Be sure to have the book with you in class on Thursday.

2) Work on your Verse/Opening essay, using my sample as a guide. You will need to have your essay completed and ready to turn in the day we return from Thanksgiving break. (Therefore, whether or not you have homework over break is dependent on you and whether you choose to complete this essay today or put if off.)

3) Make sure you have your completed “Put Me in the Zoo” handout from last week (if you didn't give it to the substitute, which some of you did), and also that you finished the Bible verse assignment we started in class yesterday. Have both ready at the start of class on Thursday.

4) Make sure your notebook is fully organized. Have the dividers labeled the way I told you to, and make sure all papers are filed into the appropriate sections. Take out all unnecessary papers (stuff for other classes, scratch paper, doodling and drawing, etc.) and make sure you have some clean notebook paper in there ready for note-taking. You will receive a grade on your notebook organization on Thursday.

5) 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! :)
