for Friday, October 12, 2012 (2 choices) fi5

Dear Class,

I hope you had a marvelous weekend!  The weather was lovely for every kind of activity!

You have 2 choices for your homework assignment this week.
1) You may write a three-paragraph non-fiction essay on a study topic that your teacher/parent chooses. Your resources may be a textbook, informative magazine, encyclopedia, or, if your parents give you permission, the internet.  Please use the resource material to form a key word outline first.  Then, in your own words, take that information to form three paragraphs.

OR

2) You may write a a three-paragraph essay for the HSLDA contest.  If you would like to add an introduction and conclusion before submitting your essay to the HSLDA, you certainly may.  The requirement for this week's essay is 3 paragraphs (minimum).

Please form a key word outline FIRST.

You may use NO BANNED WORDS!  :-)

In EACH paragraph, remember to include and properly indicate  
 -ly adverb
who/which clause
because clause (all underlined & bolded as indicators)
quality adjective
strong verb

You may include vocabulary words if they make sense contextually.  Remember to properly highlight vocab words.

Use correct formatting, for it is costly to not do so (-10 points!).
Watch out for banned words, and use the $10 words instead.  Remember, I will be looking for them and your classmates will be listening for them!

Below is your Fix It for the week.  Be mindful of paragraph changes--topic change, location change, time change, speaker change.  Write the story as if it would be written as a continuing tale.

Have a great week and enjoy God's gift of beautiful weather!

Week 5

As soon as the eldest were 15 she was allowed to rise to the surface of the ocean, and when she returned she had 100s of things to wondrously recount to her sisters.

The exquisitest experience she told her sisters was to lay in the moonlight and gaze on a town where the lights were twinkling like 100s of stars, having heard the voices, and the merry bells pealing out from the churches I pine for them.  

Listening eagerly to all these descriptions the littlest mermaid fancies she can here the hustle and bustle all the way down in the depths of the sea

In another year the 2^nd sister was permitted too rise two the surface and too swim about, where she pleased, rising just as the sun was setting she murmured upon her return that was the most pictorial site of all because the hole sky resembled gold.
