HW from Tuesday, 4/10/18

Due on AND BEFORE Thursday, 4/12/18

1) If you haven’t already, make all corrections to the first page(s) of your theme story using the corrected “first page” draft I returned to you before spring break.

2) Complete five full pages of your theme story (including the corrected ones you wrote before—not five more), continuing with our correct standard format for margins and font size. Your story will not be finished at this time, so just name this draft “first five pages” and put the date of 4/12/18.

3) Proofread these pages carefully, making all corrections you find, then print the pages. Read over the printed pages, looking again for errors, before handing it to your parent (or another adult) to proofread. Have them mark their suggestions directly on the pages and sign to show that they proofread it well.

4) Make all suggested corrections to your draft, then save it and email it as an attachment to my Markup address. Those received before class on Thursday will receive extra credit in the grade book. They are due before 8:00 p.m. on Thursday night.

5) Resume your regular schedule of reading and writing in your journal (upside down writer’s notebook) each school day. Mark the minutes read on your reading log, and indicate that you wrote in your journal with a small check in the corner of the square for the day.

-----

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

+ 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!

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

+ Review your memorized poem occasionally 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 following poem perfectly from memory, I will give you an extra quiz grade in your average for the quarter.

The Lamb, by William Blake

Little lamb, who made thee?

         Dost thou know who made thee? 

Gave thee life and bid thee feed

By the stream and o'er the mead 

Gave thee clothing of delight

Softest clothing wooly bright

Gave thee such a tender voice

Making all the vales rejoice!

         Little Lamb who made thee?

         Dost thou know who made thee? 

         Little lamb, I'll tell thee! 

         Little lamb, I'll tell thee!

He is called by thy name

For he calls himself a Lamb

He is meek and he is mild

He became a little child 

I a child, and thou a lamb

We are called by his name

         Little lamb, God bless thee! 

         Little lamb, God bless thee!
