Hooray! The "Who Am I" essay, which will be used as a benchmark for the rest of the year, is due. The rough draft is due Friday, and the FINAL draft (typed, double-spaced in 12-point font) is due Tuesday. The rough draft and brainstorm sheet should be stapled to the back of the final draft. Please refer to the handouts that give the directions as well as an example for this activity.
Students have been exploring the format of this "formal" essay in class, so they should not have had to do much more than edit and add additional details at home prior to typing. Please remember that the Media Center is open before school (with an ID) and during lunch (with a pass).
Students also have begun writing a list of their "Writing Territories". This is a list of significant events, objects and memories. We will be referring to this list all year, and your student might talk to you about details from his/her past.
Thanks for your support this year, especially completing and signing all of those forms.
