The First Small Step

Phew- day one of high school is over. Congratulations. You have taken the first small step of the journey. It was good to put the name with the face for each of you. But please do be patient - it will take me a few days to always put the right name with the right face. Remember to come tomorrow with your deliciously descriptive bubble maps, as well as your typed paragraphs (12 point font, double-spaced). Don't forget that picture, too. We'll start off with your Alliterative Adjectives. Look forward also to tackling some poetry tomorrow. Fasten your seat belts..we're off.

Due Tomorrow - September 9th:
Part I

Create a bubble map and write your name in the center
Offer at least 6 juicy adjectives to describe yourself.
An adjective is a descriptive word that can be added to a sentence without using a or the.
Create a frame of reference for each word.
How do you know?
Where do you see evidence that this is true?

Part II

Choose 1 adjective from your map and write a well-organized and detailed paragraph (at least 6 sentences) that explains how or why this adjective accurately describes you. Use examples and details to illustrate.
Include a recent photo of yourself.
