for Friday, November 30, 2012 (Biography) fi11&12

Dear Class,

KWOs are due this Sunday evening. Please scan and send a pdf file OR have a parent snap a picture and send it to me.  PeggyCortez@hotmail.com

As we discussed in class, your assignment is to write a 3-paragraph biography using at least two sources. Please ask your parents for their suggestions. 

This is a perfect opportunity to integrate IEW and a current homeschool subject of study. Try to start with a great opening "hook," interesting quote, teaser or fascinating fact (and remember that your clincher must relate to it in a suitable way).

IN EACH PARAGRAPH:
• Use every dress-up, openers 1, 2 and a (6)vss. 

• Topic and clincher sentences must relate to each other (repeat, reiterate, or reflect) 

• Use at least two sources.

• Sources must be listed at the end of your essay.  If you use a website,  include the complete URL.  

• Do not plagiarize. Use your KWO to help you remember the main facts so that you can share the information in your own words. 

• Formatting counts!

• Include the IEW CHECKLIST completed with words in the squares. 

• Here is an example of a completed CHECKLIST. This one contains more required dress-ups and openers BUT it serves as a useful guide.

• You MAY handwrite words in your CHECKLIST.

Bring all of your vocabulary words (your master list) to class every Friday. . . . 

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR MASTER VOCAB LIST ON NOVEMBER 30.   I strongly suggest that you begin a word doc including each word, w/ definition, part of speech and sample sentence. Print it out, put the pages in page protectors, and keep it in your notebook.  

You can use  SortMyList.com  to update your master list.

We have two FIX ITs due on November 30.  Start early!  :-)  Handwrite these, please.

Week 11

A dreadful storm was approaching, the great ship pursued her flying course over the tempestuous sea the waves rose mountains high as if they would have overtopped the mast but the ship dived like a swan between them.

at length the ship groaned the thick planks gave way under the lashing of the sea as it broke over the deck and the mainmast snapped asunder like a reed the ship lied over on her side and the water rushed in

The little mermaid now percieved that the crew were in imminent danger, and when a flash of lightning revealed the hole seen she could see every one who had been on bored accepting the prince.

When the ship parted she saw the prince sink exhaustedly into the deep waves, at first, she was glad because she thought he would now be with her but then she remembered that human beings could not live in the water he must not die

Week 12

Strewed about by beams and planks the sea heaved as she swam between them forgetting that the wood could crush her two peaces then she dived deeply under the dark waters until at length she managed to reach the prince.

Loosing the power of swimming in that stormy sea the prince would have precipitately perished had not the little mermaid come too his assistance, his limbs were failing him, his beautiful eyes were closed.

She held his head above the water, and let the waves drift them where they would, in the morning, the storm had ceased but she could not percieve a single fragment of the vanished ship.

Although, the sun restored the hue of health to the princes cheeks his eyes remained closed the mermaid kissed his high smooth brow, and stroked back his wet hair.
