ALEX ~ HW from Monday, 10/17/22

Due on Thursday, 10/20/22

Still incomplete from previous assignments:

+ 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.

New assignments from today (Monday, 10/17):

1) Read all of pp.125-126 in your Writer's Inc. book. The sections are entitled "Writing with Style" and "Key Stylistic Reminders."

2) Write three descriptive sentences—using the five ways we have learned to enhance description—following the models we did previously with the sentences <The man walked.> and  <The child cried.> This time, write one each for a farmer, a banker, and a baker. 

3) Complete the items listed below in the "Also, daily" section!

----------

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 5, rounded down—and have a parent initial it in the box each day. The October Reading Log is due on Monday, October 31.

+ Print out each homework blog entry, check off each assignment as your complete it, and have your parent sign the completed, printed sheet. Bring it to class each day.

+ Be on the lookout for any errors you see in print anywhere! Grammatical errors, spelling errors, mistakes of any kind. Take a picture or bring me the print material where you saw the error, for extra credit!
