Ms. Tyre's English 9 Homework for Tuesday, October 1:

1. Personal Reflection on Your Connection to Nature: This is your main work over the long weekend. This is a developed 5 (or 6) paragraph essay that is a first-person reflection on your connection to nature. You will use your real life examples to show that "connection" you identify in your Thesis Statement.  It will be word-processed, 12 pt. font, TNR.  IT IS DUE ON TUESDAY FOR EDITING.

2. Glossary: keep up with the new words you are encountering. Follow the format I have given you.

3. Paragraph of "Nature not as cute, cuddly as it seems." This is a paragraph that answers the question:  What does this article reveal about nature?  Follow the paragraph handout.  You will have written your original in class on Thursday, but you are to take it home and do a self-edit.  Then you are to word-process your second draft.  It should show improvement. You are to bring both in on Wednesday: 2nd Draft on top of the original.
