In-class Writing Prompt, GL 9/9
We have discussed reasons for reading, we’ve discussed class norms, and we’ve looked at your individual likes and dislikes about school, life, and the world in general. Now it’s time for you to summarize yourself and your approach to school!
Please write a letter to Mr. B and Ms. L, telling us one piece of good news about you as a student and one piece of bad news. You may not just do one side of you as a student--you have to offer both the strength AND the challenge.
Remember letter form: you must have
_________ a greeting,
_________ a body, and
_________ a closing with your signature.
You may have
_________ a greeting,
_________ a chatty intro paragraph,
_________ a strengths paragraph,
_________ a challenge paragraph,
_________ a chatty conclusion paragraph, and then
_________ a closing with your signature.
Have at it!
We know this is a first draft, without your laptop, so don’t stress about spelling or neatness. Think about content instead.
