What do you write?

What do you write?

Everyday in your life, you use language. You write things all the time. Whether or not you realize it, you write all the time. It may not always be with a pen or a computer, but you still write.
Have you ever written your name on the mirror in the bathroom after you took a hot shower? Have you ever written a person a note? How about a birthday card?

Make a list of things you have written in your journal.

After you have made your list, answer this question, “Why do you write?”

Good morning or Good afternoon.

Good morning.
Or
Good afternoon.

Homework never stops.
Only, your teachers stop checking it all the time as you get older.
Here’s my homework.
Would you like to do my homework?
 I have to build a website.
So if I am a little tired on Tuesdays, you know why.
I am at class (as a student) on Mondays until about 9 PM.

Let me know if you like my homework.
Mr. Loreto

New Day

Every day is a brand new day.
It is not the same as yesterday.
And it is different than tomorrow.

In your Photobooth, take a picture of you today.

And write about how you are doing…

Think of this as an extended check in.
