For the trait of Organization, your assignment is...
1. Read two books from the selection of Organization. As you finish reading each book, think about what an effective conclusion does, and think about the sequence of events that take place leading up to the conclusion. Does the story have clear direction and purpose? Do the ideas follow logical order and do the transitions all tie together? Does the conclusion leave you, the reader, feeling completely satisfied? Effective writing makes the reader think and the conclusion, especially, should leave the reader satisfied, but also leave room for the possibility that the story could continue. Your assignment is to choose one book that you feel the conclusion is not satisfying and rewrite the conclusion. You are to wrap up the story as you see logically fit!
2. Read the book, Give a Pig a Pancake. What is unique about the way the author has presented the words? Is the conclusion satisfactory? In this assignment, you are going to write a start-stop poem about one of the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, or fall. A start-stop poem starts with a line and ends or concludes with the same line. In between, the words are chosen carefully to describe the season and follow logical sequence. Below is an example of a start-stop poem (writingfix.com)
In Winter Outside my window I notice Winter walking towards the house His cane clacks the sidewalk like hailstones His cloak casts such lengthy shadows His beard leans into the chilly wind And his arrival changes the world That once grew and thrived In greens and pinks Outside my window.
Using the line Outside my window create a start-stop poem that personifies a season and making it seem alive like a person. Poems should be ten lines at most.

In Winter
Outside my window
I notice Winter walking towards the house
His cane clacks the sidewalk like hailstones
His cloak casts such lengthy shadows
His beard leans into the chilly wind
And his arrival changes the world
That once grew and thrived
In greens and pinks
Outside my window.
