HW from Thursday, 3/22/18

Due on AND BEFORE Tuesday, 3/27/18

1) Get your report card signed and return it on Tuesday.

2) Print a single-spaced copy of copy of your springboard (“I Am”) poem and turn it in on Tuesday if you haven’t already.

3) Practice reciting your memorized poem in front of the mirror and in front of other people. You don’t have to be quite as demonstrative in your recitation as my son Philip was in the video, but you do need to be comfortable and interesting in your delivery, and be sure you’re speaking confidently and slowly as you recite. Practice, practice, practice!

4) Complete your Theme Story Planning Worksheet thoroughly and well, including details about your setting, characters, and plot ideas. Be sure you have a completed plot line diagram as well. Feel free to add extra pages as needed. It should be ready to turn in on Tuesday, along with the start of your theme story.

5) Get started with your theme story, focusing on either setting or character (or a combination, as we studied in class), formatting it correctly and writing at least the first full page. (Do not write more than two pages unless you email them to me and get permission to continue.) You will turn in your Theme Planning Worksheet and these first two pages on Tuesday, in your new theme story envelope I’ll give you on Tuesday.

6) Beginning today, Thursday, write in your journal each day (upside-down writer’s notebook entries), setting a timer for five minutes and writing in first/second person as we’ve practiced in class. Don’t forget to bring your writer’s notebook back to class each Tuesday/Thursday!

7) Write your next meaningful verse essay, to be turned in by next Thursday, 3/29.

8) Be prepared for your Scripture memory quiz on the other two verses, which will come at any time. 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).

+ Write in your journal each day (upside-down writer’s notebook entries), setting a timer for five minutes and writing in first/second person as we’ve practiced in class. Don’t forget to bring it back to class each day!

+ Make your bed!
