****PLEASE READ #5 FIRST!!!!!
1. (check out these quick tips: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/show-dont-tell/)
2. Read pages 163-164 (model paper); then, read the "Description Checklist" (I forgot to give this to you last week!!)
3. Finish Description assignment; please access your document and revise your work based on my feedback and your own rested perspective
4. Before we move on to narrative writing, please work on these description activities on Monday and Wednesday (if snow, just use the next two classes you have)
*******5. Before class ends, write me a note in a new document in your folder indicating your progress on these assignments. The easiest thing is probably to copy and paste this post into that fresh document and either use the comments or highlighting to let me know which activities you were able to complete. Again, I am trusting you as young adults to push yourselves to work the entire block, as I am not giving you homework; however, do not rush through your reading or responses.
*PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE SUNDANCE READER OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. You do not have to finish all of this for homework. I will review your work over the long weekend.

- "Responding to Images" page 159 #6 ---ideally, find one or two other people to work on this! I know you all work at different paces, but do your best to team up!
- Find your own image from any area of interest; this can be a photograph, painting, sketch, etc. Write a descriptive response to the art. Your goal in this descriptive response is to be descriptive enough so that someone else can recreate the image by reading your response.
