Writing – For
your final writing project, you are going to be writing a book.
1. Today you are going to learn about genres. Dessert
comes in genres — ice cream, candy, cake, or pie. Within these genres are
individual examples, but there are certain characteristics of candy bars
as opposed to pie that make each one recognizable. Pie is not frozen, cake
is not mushy, ice cream doesn’t come in a wrapper, etc.
Books come in genres. They are similar to movie
genres. Maybe you’ve seen a sports movie or a comedy movie or an action movie
or a sad movie or a spy movie or a space movie…You could write a mystery story
or a fantasy story in a made-up world…There are many choices. Here are some to
think about.
- Fable Narration- Demonstrates a useful truth, especially in which animals speak as humans; legendary, supernatural tale.
- Fairy Tale - Story about fairies or other magical creatures, usually for children.
- Fantasy Fiction- Has strange or other worldly settings or characters; fiction which invites suspension of reality.
- Fiction Narrative- Literary works whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact.
- Historical Fiction - Story with fictional characters and events in a historical setting.
- Humor Fiction- Full of fun, fancy, and excitement, meant to entertain; but can be contained in all genres
- Legend Story- Sometimes about a national or folk hero, which has a basis in fact but also includes imaginative material.
- Mystery Fiction- Deals with the solution of a crime or the unraveling of secrets.
- Realistic Fiction - Story that could actually happen and is true to life.
- Science Fiction - Story based on impact of actual, imagined, or potential science, usually set in the future or on other planets.
- Tall Tale- Humorous story with blatant exaggerations, swaggering heroes who do the impossible with nonchalance.
2. In you're My Book packet, write your genre at the top of the page. Start thinking about your book, but we’re not ready to start
writing yet.

Grammar – Here
is one last grammar review before you work on your big writing project that you
will edit to perfection with your ace grammar skills! Do numbers 1-20. Read
each question first and then go to the paragraph to find the answer. You don’t
have to read the paragraph first. You’re just going to have to go back to find
which sentence the question is referring to anyway.

Writing –
1. Every story has a protagonist, the hero of
the story. This will be your main character.
2. Fill out the Protagonist worksheet about your main character
(Protagonist).
3. In your My Book packet write a short description
of your main character. Be as specific as possible. Does he have lots of
friends? Do people think he’s handsome? Is she loving towards her little sisters?
Who is this person? The better you know your character the better your story
will be. You’ll know just what he or she would do in a situation. This should
be at least 5 sentences.
4. Make sure your main character is not perfect. He
or she needs at least one major flaw. She can’t sing but she thinks she can. He
can’t whistle (and he’ll need to in the story). She’s painfully shy. He can’t
eat spaghetti. Whatever it is, it has to be part of the story. In your My Book packet,
write at least two sentences explaining your characters major flaw.

Computer – I
have created our own school on typing and we are going to start doing typing
twice a week since you are done with grammar for the year.
1. Log into Typing Club. YOUR PASSWORD HAS CHANGED. (Username: colwynn
Password: 1111 or Username: therony Password: 9999)
2. Click on Typing Jungle and
then start with the first lesson. We are going to be starting over and the most
important thing is to NOT LOOK AT THE KEYS!! At
first it is going to be hard but, if you keep cheating and looking at the keys,
then you will be wasting your time. So start from the very first lesson and
don’t look at the keys AT ALL! You may play for 20 minutes.

Writing –
1. What adjectives would you use to describe your
protagonist?
2. Adjectives help your readers picture just what you
are picturing. If I wrote: I saw a dog. Each one of you would picture something
different! If I wrote, “I saw a dog hairy enough that his eyes were concealed
and large enough that he could lick my knee caps; I know because that’s just
what he was doing,” do you think we’re picturing something more similar now?
You need to describe what you are talking about. Specific nouns will help, so
will adjectives.
3. In your My Book packet, find the alphabet chart
and write at least one adjective for every letter. Do all that you can. At the
end, when you can’t think of any more and your brain is getting sore, then you
can look here for ideas.
