Welcome Back Students! Welcome to our new classroom and welcome to new students with us this year. I look forward to a fun and productive senior year.
Today we will start by going over our course syllabus for the year. Please have your parents take a look at the syllabus and have them sign the last page and return to me by the end of the week.
We will start English class this year by writing Personal Statements.
You will have 2 prompts to write about. Please write an essay of 750 words for each.
1. Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
2. Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?
These are very common questions for any college essay and they are from the UC app. Those of you who do not plan to apply to a 4 year university this is a good opportunity to practice your writing. It is good to think about yourself and your accomplishments so far. I will be here to help you with your writing if you need any assistance.
Tips for your essay are available here
