Summer School 2016 Week Five

Hello Everyone!  

I hope you are all staying dry in this rainy weather!

For Homework:  Your goal is to write everyday for ten minutes without interruption.  Each day will be a new topic.  If you feel like you can not write anymore and there is still time left, re-read what you have written.  Read it aloud and see if there is information that is missing.  Add details and play with the story's order. 

Level 1: Try to aim for at least 3 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentence.

Level 2: Aim for at least 6 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentence and combine two of the 6 sentences together to create a complex sentence.

Level 3:  Write at least 8-9 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentences.  Combine two of 8 together to create a complex sentence.  Rearrange another sentence to create varied sentence structure.

**We will review these techniques in class.  Try your best and bring in your writing so we can workshop your work.

This week's theme is ADVICE

Throughout Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story, there are moments in which the main characters are given advice and wisdom.  It is up to them to determine whether or not to take that advice.

This week we will focus on advice.  What is it, why do we need it, why do we give it, what do we do with it?


Monday: Define the word ADVICE.  Give one example from your life that best explains what that word means.

Tuesday: Tell about a time someone gave you GOOD ADVICE.  What situation were you in?  What happened as a result of the advice?

Wednesday: Tell about a time someone gave you BAD ADVICE. What situation were you in?  What happened as a result of the advice?

Thursday: Tell about a time you gave some advice, good or bad.

Friday: Tell about a time you took your own advice.
