Homework Update

Ok, so make sure you set up your CP Book tonight!  Decorate it, 1st page = title page, the next pages = Table of Contents (Date, Title, Page #).

Bring a book to read in class.  Please make sure it's something you haven't read (or read completely).

And have fun with your poem!  I plan on writing one myself and we will dedicate some time tomorrow to share them.

Tomorrow's agenda: 1st CP Book Entry, Poem Sharing, More Introductions, Short Story reading: "The Rain Came" by Grace Orgot, and homework questions

Homework For Tuesday, July 8th

Please have the following for class on Tuesday:

Your composition notebook

class materials (paper, pen)

Emergency Sheets

The brainstorm list you will use for your "Where I'm From" poems.  It should include things that describe or represent you, things that make your experience in this world unique to you.  For example, you should include: adjectives, places you've been or want to be, or the place where you live and/or grew up, memorabilia or items of importance, significant people in your life, and expressions (such as "Wicked") that you use or hear.

Bring this list to class tomorrow along with the above supplies.
