Your First Middle School English Homework
Due: Thursday, September 6, 2007
You may do this assignment as a comment on the blog. If you do so, you must also turn in the paper I handed out in class and write on it, “I did my homework on the blog.” Please only list your first name and last initial on the blog; no last names.
This homework assignment is perhaps the most important one I will give you all year! Why? Not because it’s hard. The reason why this assignment is so important is because you will be showing me what kind of student you have chosen to be at Mulholland. Will you be responsible and do all your work? Will you do the work, but forget it at home? Maybe you’ll do it, but leave it in that brand new locker of yours. Perhaps you’ll turn in the assignment all crumpled up, since you shoved it to the bottom of your backpack. Or, horror of horrors, will you choose to play video games, talk on the phone, and watch T.V. instead of doing your work? I hope EVERYONE gets a great start and you all manage to turn in this assignment tomorrow.
1. List any chapter books that have been read aloud to you. List the titles. List the authors if you remember them.
2. List any chapter books you remember reading on your own. Again, titles and authors if you remember them. If you have read so many books that you can’t possibly list them all, then tell me your five favorites and the last one you read. If you have never read a chapter book on your own, don’t worry. You will this year!
3. List any movies you have seen that were adapted from books AND you both saw the movie and read the book.
4. Now, list the movies you have seen that were adapted from books that you have not read.
Grading:
100% A: Answers written on separate sheet. Correct heading on paper. All questions answered. Paper is neat and not crumpled. No ragged edges from spiral notebook paper. No broken holes from notebook paper.
85% B: Same as A, but paper is messy.
75% C: Same as B, but not all questions answered
50% F: Paper is late. Whether one hour or four months late doesn’t matter.
0%: F: Paper is never turned in.
