After we read, we have two goals today.
Goal #1: Score your Personal Statement
- Open your final draft of your Personal Statement. (If you do not have the document I asked you to make a copy of last Friday, here is the link. You have to make a copy of it and share it with me.)
- Scroll all the way down to the bottom and follow the directions under "Your Rubric."
- You will need to assess your own essay and highlight the area of each section of the rubric that you believe you achieved.
- Once you have done that, explain your reasoning for giving yourself those scores using evidence from your essay. There is a box for you to do this on your document
- If you have not shared this document with me before you leave today, your personal statement will be considered late, and it will affect your grade.
Goal #2: A Writing Activity
This is an in-class activity to get our creative juices flowing. Stay tuned.
Bonus: Take a look at this article later. It's called "7 Lessons Every Writer Must Learn." Much of what we'll be doing in the next few weeks will connect to lessons like these ones. The astute observer will notice that the writing activity we did today was based off of these 7 lessons.
