TO ALL GRADE 8 STUDENTS...

GREETINGS!

Your homework/assignment for the weekend is simple...(yeah, right!)...you do not even need your textbooks for this.
Using the Guide Questions I gave you on the movie "Schindler's List" and your own answers to those questions, you are going to put all the ideas together and write a paragraph or two about it. I do not want a summary of the story nor a narrative paragraph. I am challenging you to find a way to put the ideas you have and come up with a coherent paragraph. Do not simply put one Guide Question's answers in one paragraph, then another answer for another paragraph and so on and so forth...that wil be equal to a zero! The idea you have on your paragraph does not have to be in the order they were given as Guide Questions...you can mix them up. At the most, I want three to four paragraphs only...an Intro paragraph with three to five sentences...about one to two paragraphs for the Body with about seven to ten sentences each...and then a Concluding paragraph with three to five sentences as well. My suggestion would be for you to write a draft of your paragraph first then edit it yourself as many times possible, before writing your final form. Final paragraph on A4/F12/DS/TNR...!
I hope you look at this task as something challenging rather than difficult...! If you think about it, you'll realize that it will not only practice your coherence in writing and critical thinking, but also your ability to properly use your GW skills.
Have a GReight weekend, everyone...see you all on Monday. Take care and be safe...CIAO!!!
