Due on Tuesday, 10/30/18
My headache is better! It started to improve about halfway through the CWB class, and has continued to get better throughout the afternoon. Thank you for your prayers!
1) If you did not complete it for today, choose the verse you will share for your opening. Write it down, along with a few points you plan to share as to why it is meaningful to you. File it in your notebook and don’t forget to show me on Tuesday to erase your zero.
2) Write your season essay using the following parameters:
* Thoroughly complete your Essay Planning Worksheet beforeyou begin writing your essay. (You will be required to turn it in—along with your brainstorming sheet, where you figured out your three categories, and the following items—for full credit.)
* Revisit the three aspects of the season that you chose for your three paragraph topics, and plan out the descriptive phrases you might like to use to enhance the images you will be creating of this season. Plan for the adjectives and adverbs and exciting verbs and nouns. What sensory details will you include? Write these in the margins of your Essay Planning Worksheet.
* Figure out at least one instance of figurative language (simile, metaphor, or personification) that you can put into your paper. Plan it out ahead of time! You will be required to have at least one in your essay. Write this at the top of your Essay Planning Worksheet.
* Although you may use first person pronouns (“I,” “me,” “my,” “mine,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and/or “ours”), please do not tell me a story about something that happened to you or something you did, but rather give me a good description of the season itself, using sensory details and all the other ways we’ve learned to make your writing descriptive. (And do not give me a “weather report,” either!)
* You do not have to handwrite any part of the essay itself if you do not want to. If your Essay Planning Worksheet is complete, you may sit down at the computer and use the Essay Planning Worksheet to write your essay from scratch directly on the computer if you would like to.
* Follow the Guidelines for Typed Compositions listed on the right-hand side of the blog. Your completed essay should work out to be around 200 words.
NOTE: On Tuesday, you will turn in the following items, stapled in order from bottom to top.
1) Your brainstorming sheet, from which you gleaned your three topics for your three paragraphs
2) Your completed Essay Planning Worksheet
3) Your D1 (first draft), in which you’ve highlighted your figurative language example and which you have proofread yourself, then had proofread and signed by a parent and one other person
4) Your D2 (second draft), in which you corrected your D1 based on the suggestions of your two proofreaders
Your beautiful, corrected draft will be on top. Do not fold your stack of papers.

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 October Reading log is due on Thursday, November 1.
+ Continue to print out each homework blog entry, check off each assignment as you complete it, and have your parent sign the completed, printed sheet. Bring it to class each day.
