Essential Question: Am I prepared to start the new marking period?

1. In your notebooks, brainstorm about the following:

• Goals
• Expectations
• Feelings about starting a new marking period.

2. Task: Write a Dear Me Letter
Here are some guidelines on how to get an A: 

• Write yourself a letter discussing your feelings about starting a new marking period.
• How has the year gone so far? Different from what you expected?
• What are your goals and expectations for this marking period? Any changes you would like to make?
• How do you feel about being at SOTA?

*Note: These guidelines are here to get you started. You may add to the them as well!

* If you type your letter, please use Microsoft Word and SAVE YOUR WORK! Don't know how? ASK!

8th Grade Alternative Writing Assignment: Since I know most of you from last year, you may write an All About Me writing assignment. Write about yourself! What would I not know about you right away? Has anything changed in your life from last year? What's different? What's the same? This writing task is about self-discovery, so write about something meaningful!
