HW from Tuesday, 10/16/18

Please forgive me for not updating this homework blog before now! 

Due on Thursday, 10/18/18

1) Find a dialogue between two characters in a book you like. Scan and print it (or Xerox it) and bring it to class on Thursday.

2) Read over the handout I gave you with the rules for punctuating dialogue. Study the dialogue you selected for #1 and notice how it conforms to those various rules for punctuating dialogue.

3) Visit our class website and review the rules there, too (along with the other stuff we're studying this quarter). Be committing these things to memory and always be ready for a quiz on them at any time. 

4) Correctly punctuate the conversations (numbered 2-6 on the handout I gave you), but do not follow the directions on the handout and don’t do it directly on the handout. Instead, write out the conversations, correctly punctuated, on loose-leaf paper—one sheet per conversation. (There will be five sheets total.) 

NOTE: If you would prefer to type the conversations, you may do so, but be sure you follow all guidelines for typed compositions (from the sidebar of this blog) if you do.

5) Visit this blog post to read about the amazing power of the human brain to decipher and "fill in the gaps" when it is reading things that are riddled with errors. This is why it is so important to proofread things many times, and to have others look at your writing, too. Your brain can see right past the errors and read it as if there aren't any!

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.
