Here's a quick overview of the first few days of our semester:
Monday will largely be spent on introductions--to the class, your classmates and teacher(s). We will also ask you to write a letter of introduction to us. We should get started on this in class, but if you need to finish it at home here are the directions:
Suggested things to include in your letter of introduction:
-General background about you and your family
-Where you’ve lived, etc.
-Your interests/activities outside of the school day (sports, clubs, jobs, hobbies, etc.)
-Your feelings/attitude toward school, teachers, English classes, etc.
-What you hope to do after high school, both short-term and long-term
-Any medical issues you think teachers should be aware of
-Any special concerns or worries as the semester begins
-Anything you think makes you unique or special or that you’d just like to your teacher(s) to know about you or your experiences
Touchstones Testing: Throughout the semester we will give a series of county-mandated assessments called Touchstones. We will take the first of these this week, probably on Wednesday.
