HW from Thursday, 3/15/18


Due on Tuesday, 3/20/18

1) Read about the HSLDA poetry contest by clicking on the link. I would like for you to complete a poem according to the directions given for your age category. Do not submit your poem to the contest, but do write it according to the correct guidelines and be prepared to turn it in on Tuesday, typed and with our proper heading. 

(NOTE: Rhyming couplets are pairs of lines that rhyme. They can be divided into 2-line stanzas, but they are more commonly written all together, in one big chunk, with repeated rhyming lines in the AA format...so it ends up looking like AABBCCDDEEFF etc.)

2) Look for a text from me, giving you the okay to begin memorizing your selected poem. Use the tips for memorization handout, which I gave you back when we started our Scripture memory. You will need to have your poem committed to memory by next Thursday.

3) Continue to flesh out your Theme Story Planning Worksheet, adding details about your setting, characters, and plot ideas as you develop them. Do not answer question #1 yet.

4) Work on your final revision of your mystery story (D5) if you haven’t already turned it in. It is due next Tuesday. This will be the final draft of your mystery story, and this grade will count as a test grade (double).

5) Be prepared for your Scripture memory quiz on the other two verses. It will be the same format as the one you already took.

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 March Reading Log will be due on Thursday, 3/29/18.

+ Each day, review your four memorized Scripture memory verses (Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 4:29-32, Philippians 4:4-8, 1 Chronicles 29:11-13).

+ Make your bed!

OPENING (oral presentation of Bible verse and prayer):

Please be ready to do the opening on any day! I will have your verse essay available for you.                                                          

For Tu, 3/20: Cassie (CWA); William (CWB)
