In order for your teacher to get to know you better and to begin our practice of writing, you will write on a topic you know best - yourself! Compose a bio (in multi-paragraph form) that answers all of the questions below. You may include additional details as you desire. Do this in your warm-up journal or on a loose sheet of notebook paper.
- What is your name and what nickname do you prefer?
- How long have you lived in this area? Where are you from? What brought you to this place and time in your life?
- What are your likes and dislikes? What do you like to do in your free time? Do you participate in any extracurricular activities?
- What makes you unique?
- What is your biggest strength? What is your biggest weakness?
- What are your expectations for this class? What are your expectations for this school year? What are your expectations of me, your teacher?
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- Describe something that you will contribute to make this class successful this year.
