HW from Hurricane Week (Tu 9/11 & Th 9/13)

Due on Tuesday, 9/18/18

As always, please call, text, or email me if you have any questions or concerns about how to do anything on this blog! My suggestion is always that you print it out so you can check off each item as you complete it.

1) Memorize this list of your five senses (in this exact order and using these exact words):
LOOK
SMELL
TASTE
SOUND
FEEL

Practice saying it several times so you don't forget them—in this order, using these words.

2) Make sure your CW binder is ready. Get the five tabs labeled and placed in your binder in the correct order with the correct pages filed into each section:

1 – Notes (Writing & Grammar Lessons) – put loose leaf paper in this section

2 – Handouts
2 – Copywork / Reading Logs
3 – Quizzes / Tests
4 – Memory Work
5 – Poetry

3) Complete Copywork #1 according to the directions on the handout. (Follow them carefully.) Use loose leaf paper. (This document was emailed to you as an attachment since we didn't have class and I couldn't hand it to you. Please print it out before attempting to complete the assignment.)

4) Visit this web page and watch the video. Write a paragraph reacting to what Admiral McCraven claims in the video. What benefits does he say will be derived from this daily activity? Do you agree or disagree? Do you think his words will shape your behavior in the future? Be prepared to turn in this paragraph on Thursday. (And maybe go do what he suggested!)

5) Begin reading your Mark Rodriguez book. 

6) Be sure you have completed all previous assignments. Check the previous homework blog entries.

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 September Reading log is due on Tuesday, October 2.
