On-going homework assignments

Class seemed to run a little more smoothly today, but I still think we have a lot to change.
I wanted to post the on-going assignments discussed in class today and also mention that on Monday I will be collecting and checking your class work from today about identifying different parts of the news stories. You should have 2 stories with the headline, bi-line, lead, 5 ws and H pointed out. If you know what kind of lead is used, you can add that information also.

ON-GOING Assignments:

  • Independent reading with logs in the reader's notebook... write the title, author and pages read along with some evidence that you read (i.e. a summary, character analysis, plot development, etc.)
  • Observations - you should get out into the community and take notes of what you see around you. Notice things you hear. Use your senses! Write everything down because anything can become a story. Keep these observations in the writer's notebook.
