Fall 2011 - Senior class of 2012!

Hello!

For your first journal, I would like you to discuss your hopes/fears about College Prep English. I have included some questions below to stimulate your response. I will take your comments into consideration when I am planning lessons, so be clear and honest.

-What do you want me to focus on this year? (reading skills, writing skills, study skills, etc.)
-What aspects of grammar are you unclear about and need to learn? (Punctuation, parts of speech, etc.)
-What DON'T I need to cover? (paragraph structure, avoiding run-ons, etc.)
-What fears do you have about the upcoming year?
-How would you rate your reading skills on a scale from 1-10? (1=poor, 10=excellent) Explain your score.
-How would you rate your writing skills, using the same scale? Explain your score.
-How would you rate your organizational skills, using the same scale? Explain your score.
-What do I need to know about you to make this year run smoothly?
-Finally, establish some goals for yourself for the school year. These goals can be both academic and social.
