Homework

• Writing Minutes
• Freewriting
• Finish Richard the Lion-heart (Some of you have finished this)
• If you have finished Richard the Lion-heart, outline Sparta or/and Athens (You can do one or both depending on how much time it takes.  And remember to stop at 100 minutes!). 
• Note:  For those of you who like to plan ahead, in two weeks you are going to choose one composition (Richard, Athens, or Sparta) to bring through the writing process.  If you’ve only had time to complete Richard, that’s OK.  That will be the one you choose.  If you’ve had time to finish Athens and/or Sparta, you will have more choices! 
• Use your Sparta and/or Athens outline(s) to rewrite the paragraphs in your own words.  (Remember to use your dress-up—verb—and openers—subject & prepositional!)

You’ve all been doing great work these past few weeks.  Keep it up!
