1st Nine Weeks Essay (Due Oct. 15th)

Your Essay is going to be about yourself. You are going to write about the 'history' of yourself. You will be writing a 5 paragraph essay discussing a day in your life over the past 2 weeks. You will pick one day and discuss 3 important aspects of that day. Each aspect will be one of your 3 body paragraphs.
+
1st Paragraph: Introduction
2nd Paragraph: 1st Aspect
3rd Paragraph: 2nd Aspect
4th Paragraph: 3rd Aspect
5th Paragraph: Conclusion
+
Your introduction should include information about yourself. This information should come from your experience in high school. (I do not want to know where you live, where you were born, how old you are... etc). I am more interested in information like, "How your school year is going? How does this day compare to others this year? Was it a good day? A bad day?"
+
Make sure you have a strong thesis statement.
+
Each aspect should be its own paragraph. Make sure to use transition sentences to make your paragraphs flow.
+
Your conclusion should add no new information. It should summarize/evaluate/give a different take as if you were looking back on your day. You will have an opportunity to type these in the computer lab on Tuesday, October 13th. They are due at the beginning of class on Thursday, October 15th. I will not accept papers that are not typed. Good luck!!!
