Homework, Week 47

Writing: Your… and Roald Dahl’s… Experiences

Please use your first draft to properly create a FINAL DRAFT

Things to include:

a.) proper spelling  b.) puncuation/capitalization c.) full sentences, full thoughts d.) description! e.) correct grammar f.) concrete examples from the book and your life g.) neat handwriting, clean paper

1.)             Re-read the Revolting Rhymes and think about Roald Dahl’s writing. What experiences from childhood and growing up would give a person such a weird and wonderful sense of humor and creativity?

2.)             What experiences, good and bad, have you had that might affect the way you would write a fairy tale (or affect your writing in general)?

so... remember: the more description, the better... "flesh out" your thoughts by really developing what you want to say, pretend I (the reader) knows nothing about Roald Dahl or Revolting Rhymes and you have to explain everything, in detail... proofread for grammar, spelling, and puncuation... if you use an example from the book (especially with a reference to a page number!!) your writing will be that much better!
