Due on Thursday, 10/13/22
1) Get all of the materials that are listed on the handout entitled "Class Supply List for Creative Writing"—purchased and organized. Bring them to class for our next class meeting, and each class meeting thereafter.
2) Select your first Reading Log book, if you haven't already, 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.
3) Send me an email—from your own email account if you have one, or from the parental email you will be using for our class correspondence, if not—before our next class meeting on Thursday. NOTE: Whenever you send me an email, write your name, CW, 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.
4) Memorize the following list of your five senses—look, smell, taste, sound, feel—using those exact words in that exact order. Be abler to recite it quickly when prompted.
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." (NOTE: I'm not certain that you have the correct edition of the Writer's Inc. book. It the page numbers here are not correct, let me know in a text or email and I will scan and send you a copy of the correct pages.)
6) Also read p. 148, entitled "Sample Personal Narrative" (called "The Game").
