Class One: no homework. enjoy the break.
class Two: Create a short story from Ernest Hemingway's shortest novel: "For sale: Baby shoes. Never used." And remember--in the best of Hemingway's tradition, never use two words when one will do. never use two sentences when one will do. Never use a big word when a "small" word will do. When you're done writing, set it aside for a day and then reread it. And be a critic when you reread it.
Class Five: same as Class One.
Class Six: edit-edit-edit. rewrite-rewrite-rewrite. You all have done nice work. Now make it even better.
