HW from Thursday, 12/13/18

Due on Tuesday, 12/18/18

1) Print another beautiful copy of your thankfulness essay D2—the one you wrote all over today while changing it to 2^ndperson point-of-view—and staple it to the top of your paper packet to turn in on Tuesday. BEFORE YOU DO SO, however, carefully remove the one you changed to 2^ndperson today.

2) Using the 2^ndperson one you wrote today, make the changes in your typed D2. FIRST THING, open the document and save a new copy called “Thankfulness Essay – 2^ndperson.” (Choose the “save as” function in MS Word.) THEN change the words you need to in order to make it read like a letter in 2^ndperson. Open with “Dear Mom and Dad” (or whatever you call them) and sign it “Love, ____” (using your name).

3) Following the sample I gave you today—and your Essay Planning Worksheet—write your first meaningful verse essay. You will turn this in next Thursday, the last day before break, but I’d like you to write it this weekend if at all possible so you won’t be scrambling to complete it next Tuesday with the other homework.

4) Do some extra reading in your Reading Log book if you have any extra time. This is a tricky month with all the days off.

HW from Tuesday, 12/11/18

Due on Thursday, 12/13/18

1) Make all suggested corrections and revisions to the D1 of your thankfulness essay. Be sure to follow all guidelines for written compositions as found on the right sidebar of this homework blog. Print the beautiful D2 and staple it to the top of your paper packet to turn in on Thursday. 

2) Slowly and carefully complete the handout we worked on together today—the one with the excerpts from Catching Fire—being careful to change the point of view of each original paragraph as indicated on the handout. Just draw a line through the word that needs to be changed and rewrite the new word above it. 

3) Do some extra reading in your Reading Log book if you have any extra time. This is a tricky month with all the days off.

Partial Homework from Tuesday, 12/4/18

Hello! I am going to have to revamp the remaining days of lessons between now and our Christmas break to be sure we cover certain material before then. I will update this blog fully—with all assignments for Tuesday—by Wednesday at noon. For now, please revise and perfect your character sketch, which was returned today, and prepare your perfect D3 and paper packet to turn in on Tuesday.

Return here by noon on Wednesday for the rest. And I will send a text and email once it's updated.
