September 3-4

Nice job getting this far!

This blog is your way of staying up-to-date even if you missed class.  I will post on this blog every day everything that we did in class and what assignments you should be completing at home. Anytime you are missing an assignment, you can check this blog to keep you caught up.

Now that you are here, I want you to send me an email (jschachter@madison.k12.wi.us) with this information on it:

1. A word or phrase you can make using some or all of the letters of your name.

2. Your favorite class at school.

3. Your favorite thing to do at school.

4. Your favorite thing to do at home.

5. Go to infinite campus. What assignment is already in the grade book?

6. One thing you would tell the President if you could tell him anything you want.

7. Tell me some things I should know about you as a student (your learning styles, what teachers do that you hate, what teachers do that you love, your thoughts about reading and writing).

8. Tell me some things I should know about you as a person (tell me about your dreams, your family, your deep thoughts, your shallow thoughts).

9. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

10. Now I want to get a sample of your writing...I want you to be creative and spend some time on this part.
Describe an experience you've had in your past that was exceptionally scary, fun, life-changing, or interesting.
I want to hear about you, but I also want to get a sense of how well you can write. Try to be detailed and creative. I don't need you to have perfect grammar, but the worse your spelling or punctuation is , the more difficult it is for me or anyone to understand what you're saying. If you are going to write something, make sure your reader can understand it, otherwise it is almost like not writing anything at all.

My guess is you will write about 200 words for this last question.

This last is for homework tonight:
Go to http://www.scholastic.com/scopemagazine/pdfs/SCOPE-090113-Nonfiction.pdf 
Read the article in preparation for our next class.
