for Friday, September 21, 2012 (Aesop's Fable) fi2

Dear Students and Parents,

I enjoyed listening to you read your essays in class. I think we have a talented group of writers in our 2012- 2013 IEW class! I am expecting great work from each and every one of you.  
Your next assignment is to re-write one of the three  Aesop’s Fables handed out in class. Remember to include (in each paragraph) the two “dress-ups” that we discussed:  a who/which clause and an “ly”word (adverb).

We will start with a writing prompt this Friday. Please be on time so that you will have the full 20 minutes to complete the base writing sample. The topic will be given to the class at 9:30 sharp. We WILL take a very quick mid-class break so that students may get their snacks. Please be sure to bring something that is neat, quiet and easy to eat.

The assignments due on Friday, September 21:

1) Your essay is due.  Remember to bold and underline the dress-ups. If you include vocabulary words, remember to highlight them in blue.

2) Your handwritten KWO should also be handed in on Friday, September 21– on a separate piece of paper. Staple it to your essay as the last page.

3) Your handwritten and corrected FIX-IT

4) Vocabulary words with definitions

FIX-IT #2        due September 21, 2012

Splendidly the roof is formed of shells which open and close as the water flows over them, there appearance is magnificent because in each lays a glittering pearl fit for the diadem of a queen.

For many years the sea king had been a widower so his aged mother kept house for him she deserved very great praise especially for her nurturance of the little sea-princess’s her granddaughters.

Although, all six were comely children the younger were the most striking of them all her skin was as delicate as a rose leaf, and her eyes as blue as the deepest sea, like all the others she had no feet and her body ended in a fish’s tail.

throughout the day they frolicked in the palatial halls of the castle, fish swam in threw the large amber windows right up to the princess’s where they nibbled from the mermaids hands, and allowed themselves to be stroked.
