Writing--Writing---Writing---from Kristi

Hey everyone!

How are you? It will be very weird for me not to see you tonight. How was your 4th of July holiday? We went camping; it was very relaxing. From reading your blogs, I see that most of you either went to picnics or had fireworks at your house....all except for our good friend the baker who had to work! In any case, I hope all of you got to relax a bit. Oh, by the way, Germany beat Argentina (sorry Aboud!). They play again on Wednesday. Will you be watching the game? You know I will be watching it!

Here are your assignments for this week. Remember that everything is due by next Monday.

Level 5/6

• Study for a quiz. Next week (NOT THIS WEEK!) I will give you a quiz over capitalization. Most of you are still making some very silly mistakes!
• Read pages 26-33 in Evergreen
• Complete the practices, but only put the answers to practices 5 and 6 on the blog.
• Your next 5 paragraph essay will be about justice. What is justice? What is injustice? If you don't know what these words mean, look them up. In fact, paragraph 4 on page 43 is your topic. I would like you to start brainstorming about this topic. Make a blog post with all of your thoughts.
• So, to review. One homework blog with the answers to 5 and 6, and one brainstorming blog over the topic of justice. Label your blogs "Homework Chapter 3" and "Brainstorming about Justice".

"Old Guys"

• Study for a quiz on capitalization. You will have this NEXT WEEK--not this week.
• Read chapter eight.
• Put practice 3 on the blog for homework
• Pick one of the topics on page 107 and write a process paragraph. Put this paragraph on the blog and label it "Process Paragraph". Make sure you use the checklist on page 107 to guide you!

Have a great week!
