HW from Thursday, 4/26/18

Due on AND BEFORE Tuesday, 5/1/18

1) Unless you have an approved extension and a new due date, you must finish your theme story before our next class meeting! It must be completely done—though not necessarily fully proofread and corrected—before Tuesday. You will not turn it in on Tuesday, but it must be finished and be in the editing process by then. Check here to see if I am aware of your story completion.

NOTE: Once you have completed your story, whenever that is, send me a text or an email letting me know that is complete and how many pages it is. You will then do a final proofread—and have your parent do one, too—before turning in your entire story packet with your proofed (by you and your parent) and corrected (by you, based on their suggestions) D1 on Thursday, May 3.

Again, the completed, proofread, corrected D1 of your theme story is due to me on Thursday, May 3. 

(If you have an approved extension because of excused absences or extenuating circumstances, you will turn it in according to the schedule we worked out. If I have not yet spoken to your parent to work out an alternate schedule, you must have your parent call me ASAP to do so!)

2) Bring your printed copy of your memorization poem, which you checked against the website link and made sure there are no discrepancies.

You will recite these poems from memory on Tuesday, 5/8.

3) Your April Reading Log is due, signed by a parent, on Tuesday. 

Impending Future Assignments

(These are for you to be aware of but not necessarily to complete yet. Work on finishing your story first!)

4) You will need to complete your final verse essay, which will be turned in the day you do the opening, if you are scheduled for another one. If you are not, it will be turned in on Thursday, 5/10.

5) Your final memorization poem will be the springboard poem you wrote about yourself. If you cannot locate your poem on your computer, contact me and I will make you a copy from the hard copy in your writing folder. You will recite these poems on Tuesday, 5/22.

ALSO, DAILY:

+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure, aiming for 30 minutes each day. 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 April Reading Log will be due on Tuesday, 5/1/18.

+ 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 Tuesday/Thursday!

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

+ Keep reviewing your memorized poem to be sure you are keeping it in your memory.

+ Make your bed! 

NOTE: At any point during Quarter 4, if you choose to memorize and recite the poem "The Lamb" (by William Blake) perfectly from memory, I will give you an extra quiz grade in your average for the quarter. Let me know at the beginning of class once you have accomplished this, should you choose to do so.
