ALEX ~ HW from Thursday, 10/13/22

Due on Monday, 10/17/22

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.

+ Figure out what's going on with your email, making sure that you are receiving the emails I am sending you.

New assignments from today (Thursday, 10/13):

1) Read all of pp.130-131 in your Writer's Inc. book. The section is entitled "Using Strong, Colorful Words."

2) Write the two good sentences I asked for. That is, write more descriptive sentences—using the five ways we learned to enhance description—following the model we did together in class with the sentence <The man walked.> You will do one more example of <The man walked.> and also write one for <The child cried.>

3) Complete Copywork #2 as instructed on the handout.

4) Complete your penmanship practice on the lined paper I gave you. Practice writing perfectly formed letters and words using a lowercase g, d, and p.

----------

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.
