You will turn it in before you leave.  The warm-up is 25% of the grade.  The list of "10 Interesting Things" is 50%.  Your 2 questions form the final 25%.


Journal writing assigment from Tuesday is due no later than tomorrow ... the specifics are below (keep in mind, this assignment is a Minor/Quiz grade ... 300-400 words

Pre-Writing ... 
Pretend that you are an observer in our school. If you were watching the "parade" of students who make their way down our corridors each day, what categories of students would you notice? List at least 4 of them ... and eliminate the category into which you would most likely place yourself. 

Journal ... 
Using one of the remaining categories, create a character that represents one of the "types" -- how do they walk? Talk? How do they dress? How do they style their hair? What do they talk about? What activities might they participate in...or not? Be creative .. have some fun with it .. but stay true to who your created character would most likely be. Focus on their strengths (if they have any) and on their weaknesses (if they have any).
