Homework

• Writing Minutes
• Freewriting (How I escaped from Ninjas)
• Richard the Lion-heart paragraphs
• Make a keyword outline for each of the four paragraphs.  We did paragraph I together

I.

1.  3rd/son/Henry II / Eleanor of Aquitaine

2.  Mother’s/ favorite/ raised/ perfect/ knight

3.  age/ 11/ duchy/ Aquitaine

4. young/ distinguished/ tactics/knightly/ skills

5. courageous / leader/ Richard the Lion-Heart

6.  heroism/ praised/ sung/ troubadours

 

• Use your keyword outline to create four paragraphs.  Remember to mark one strong verb, one (1)subject opener, and one (2)prepositional opener (use your list!) We began the first paragraph in class.  Notice how we marked each element. 

(1)Richard I was the third son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine.  He was his mother’s favorite son, raised as a perfect knight.  (2)At age 11 he was given the duchy of Aquitaine.

Note:  Many (thought not all) of you may not finish this assignment this week.  That’s ok.  Work for 100 minutes and stop.  If you are having difficulty adding or finding your dress-up and openers, do your best.  I’m planning to have quite a bit of in-class work time next week to “fill in gaps!”
