Writing to your Future Self

Today's Goal: Write! Some of you told me your strength was writing, so this is a chance to show off! Some of you said writing was your weakness, so this is your chance to show me what you know so that I can help you in the best way possible.

Agenda:

1. Practice beginning of the class procedures again! Show me you are ready for the day by getting out one piece of lined paper, a writing utensil, and a book to read! You may close your chromebook and start reading!
2. Writing! (Your prompt is below)
3. A game of teamwork.

Your Writing Prompt:

For 20 minutes, I would like you to write a letter to your future self at the end of this school year. Your goal is to keep writing the whole time. Don't stop! Imagine you could jump forward in time and interview yourself on the last day of the school year. What would you say or ask? What are some of your hopes and fears for this year? What goals do you hope to accomplish? What experiences are you looking forward to? BE SPECIFIC!

You will NOT be graded on this, and you WILL get to see your letter at the end of the year!
With this in mind, write boldly.
We'll end the class with some games!

Reminders and Homework:

1. Make sure you and your parent/guardian have read the syllabus together and filled out the form at the top of the syllabus (Due tonight!)
2. Get yourself an independent reading book!
