signed in to and ready to type on google drive.
My
Expectation:
during this classtime we have together, you are always working on
Creative Writing. To that end, if you
finish with any assignment today before I call time, this is what I want you to
do:
Reading
Assignment: Earthbook
1. Read and relax . (This means you read for enjoyment.) :-)
2. If
you’re reading a piece, and you stop enjoying it, turn the page!
3. Did you find a piece you though was really
strong? Or really funny? Then record it on your worksheet.
4. NOTE:
Make sure your reason for selecting it is a well-constructed, detailed,
two sentences for each piece you pick.

ASSIGNMENT
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Write a poem about one of your childhood
fears.
2. Type a poem that tells a story about a
time you were afraid as a child.
3. Try to get at least twenty lines.
4. Give it a strong title that adds a
dimension to the poem.
Reminder: The only acceptable
places to be on your computer today are as follows:
1. The blog
2. The sites/links on the blog
3. thesaurus.com—bookmark it now, peeps!
4. Google drive

NOTE: If LAN School tells me you are any place
else, you lose half-credit on your daily assignment, which cannot be made
up. Make sure you are on WCSD—STUDENT so
your computer is visible to me; otherwise, you lose half-credit as well.
