Creative Writing Homework: HW from Thursday, 12/13/18

Thursday, December 13, 2018

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.

-------

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 December Reading log is due on Thursday, January 10 (after Christmas break).

+ 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.
