Summer School 2016 Week Six

Hello Everyone!  

We are in our final of Summer School and SYEP.  Please remember that there is school on MONDAY and it is a full day of class.

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 PRIDE

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 Pride.  What is it, why do we need it, and is having Pride always a good thing? 

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

Tuesday: Tell about a time you felt PROUD of yourself.

Wednesday: Tell about a time you felt PROUD of someone else.

Thursday: Tell about a time your PRIDE got in the way of you doing well.

Friday: Tell about a time you were humble. (Think about the difference between PRIDE and being HUMBLE)
