19 Homework // Due the week of Feb. 4, 2016

Hi Everyone!

WEDNESDAY:

  1. Revise your personal essays and post to the blog by next Friday so I can send the blog out to the whole school!
  2. Write your "How-to" rough drafts!
    1. 1-2 pages—longer if there are pictures.
      • Pick a specific skill that interests you
        • For example:
          • Instead of "How to Draw," pick "How to draw faces"
          • Instead of "How to Babysit," pick "How to make kids love your babysitting" or "How to make your babysitting into a major business!"
      • Include:
        • Introduction
          • Attention-grabber
          • Explanation of why this skill is important
        • Several steps or categories of learning
          • Write a short paragraph for each, full of personality and explanation!
        • Conclusion
        • Pictures! These can be general pictures from the internet—or pictures of your own knitting/drawings/etc
      • Have fun writing this! Make sure you add your personality to your writing and choose a skill that you really like (even if you're not that good at it :D)
THURSDAY:
  1. Write your Personal Essay rough drafts!
      • You can find examples, tips, and writing prompts on Google Drive in the Handouts folder
      • Make sure it is:
        • 1-3 pages
        • Double-spaced
        • Header in the top left corner
FRIDAY:
  1. Peer review the remaining How-To essays
