English 12: Finish your novels by Monday . . . . Type up your composition

Meet at the classroom on Monday. We'll take attendance, collect the creative compositions and then we'll head down to the computer lab. You'll have three days to work on your USSR projects which are due the following Monday, Oct. 7.

You have three days off this weekend. Be sure to book in time to focus on your English homework.

If you are looking for ideas for your composition, read the samples in the package I gave you. Re-read the three ways to begin:

description of an object, a scene or a setting.

You can also simply write a short, short story but focus on one small incident that you can describe well. The time your dad taught you to build a fire or chip onto the green or make waffles or build a Lego castle or how to play "Stairway to Heaven".

Be specific. Be genuine. Be engaging and you'll do well.

You need at least 3 paragraphs and 400 to 600 words.

You can have as many paragraphs as you need.
If you use dialogue, each new speaker needs a new paragraph.
