HW from Thursday, 9/6/18

Due on Tuesday, 9/11/18

1) If you added our class late or didn't get the emails I sent out—and therefore you didn't turn in everything that was due today, 9/6—please complete it and turn it in on Tuesday. However, please email the prayer request homework ASAP. (ASAP=as soon as possible!)

2) Be sure you have your (correct kind of) composition book for Tuesday if you didn’t turn it in to me today. Also, be sure to let me know whether you need a Mark Rodriguez book, if you didn't know today in class.

3) Select your first Reading Log book, if you haven't already, and begin recording your reading on the Reading Log. You are aiming for an average of 30 minutes per school day (M-F), but you may read and record your reading from any days of the week or weekend. Remember, you must record your reading in round multiples of five (rounded down), and your parent must initial each day to indicate that you did the reading and recorded it accurately.

4) Send me an email—from your own email account if you have or are getting one, or from the parental email you will be using for our class correspondence, if not—before the weekend. NOTE: Whenever you send me an email, write your name, CWA or CWB, and the subject/name of the assignment in the subject line. You will be graded this time on whether you do this correctly in this email.

5) Read all of p.141 in your Writer's Inc. book—the sections entitled #4 ("Hooking Your Reader") and #5 ("Keeping the Reader Interested"), including the boxes containing the sections "Use sensory details," "Use specific action," and "Use dialogue."

6) Also read p. 143, entitled "Sample Personal Narrative" (called "The Game").


7) Please subscribe to the Homework Blog by entering both your email (if applicable) and your parent’s email in the right column. (You will have to do this as two separate actions.) You will then each receive an emailed copy of each entry after it has been published. This email will arrive hours after I have published the blog, but it is perfect to print out and check off the items to be sure you completed everything.
