Writing 2 -- "Cold Day" Homework

Greetings!

My apologies for not sending out an e-mail before this with the homework for next week.  Our family is hosting a fundraiser at our house for our son Ryan who is in Thailand with Youth with a Mission.  The past two days have been full of cleaning, baking, and jewelry making.

Firstly, a reminder of the homework that was due for this Thursday which you should bring to class next week:
Assignments due Jan. 23
-- Problem/Solution Essay Pre-Write
-- Read the handout on Characterization in Sherlock Holmes stories
-- Read "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Red-Headed League"
-- Answer 2 questions for "The Red-Headed League"
-- Grammar Worksheets 6-1, 6-2, 6-3

Assignments due Jan. 30
-- Problem/Solution Rough Draft
-- Read "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and "The Engineer's Thumb"
-- Using the Study Guide, answer 2 questions for "The Speckled Band" and 2 for "The Engineer's Thumb."
-- Grammar Worksheet 6-4 (attached and in the Dropbox folder)

Extra Credit options:  
-- Make up your own Quick Write.  Choose any topic and write for 7 minutes.
-- Make your own "Word of the Day" list of 3 unusual words along with their definitions.

I've made a new Dropbox folder for this semester's class.  For those who are new to the class, all of the handouts (grammar worksheets, study guides, writing guidelines, syllabus, etc.) are on this site.  I also attach any handouts with the weekly Class Notes.  AND, most of them are in a format so that they can be read on the blog.  It is not necessary to use all three of these sources.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Stay warm!
Mrs. Prichard
