long weekend homework reminder

Okay, so there was some confusion as to what had to be due on Monday in class - here it is:

1. Your standing assignment - (work you should be doing every day) is your independent reading with reading logs in your reading sourcebook.
2. A ROUGH draft of your map - just a sketch that shows us/me that you were thinking about how you wanted your map to look... (this means you have a tentative idea about which locations you are using and where they might appear). This is NOT the final draft.
3. 2 ROUGH drafts of your stories... this means out of your 5-7 that are due for the final project, you must complete at least 2 stories only in draft form. They should come to school on loose leaft paper, skipping every other line and not writing on the back. You can also type your draft if that is easier. Just make sure that it is at least double spaced, so that you can write on it in class on Monday.

Remember, writing is a PROCESS... it takes several steps and the first of many important steps is prewriting and then drafting. These aren't finished drafts... they are just a start; so don't worry if it's not perfect.
