Hi.
You are going to write a personal essay. Your first assignment for me was a personal essay, You told me the story of your life as a reader and writer. This next piece can be from any other angle. The only requirements are:
What could it look like?
Your first draft is about discovery and "getting it down." So don't worry too much about what it's going to become, just "get it down" on the paper/screen.
Use your writer's notebook for ideas, if you're unhappy with the one you're working on.
We will be working on this draft next week, so you need to have something "down" by the end of class.
Just write. And then keep writing. Remember: all that typing sounds like rain,.
