Language Arts-

After returning the "Whatif" poems, we read over the middle school paragraph you wrote at the beginning of school.  It was about your feelings and expectations of coming to the 6th grade for the first time.

We then began another paper that is due tomorrow about how you feel about your 6th grade experience now.  You need a jot list and rough draft which we worked on in class.  You are to write or type a final copy to bring to class tomorrow. It will be shared and then put in your writing folder to bring home.

Please include the following in your paper:
Title
Introduction-Include a few things about how you felt at the beginning of theyear.  You may refer back to your first paper for some of this if you want.
2nd-3rd paragraph-Discuss your feelings about the 6th grade now.  Include some of the personal experiences that stand out for you during this year.
Conclusion-What are your expectations and possible fears about going to 7th grade.  What are you looking forward to or maybe dreading about next year.

***The final copy may be handwritten in ink or typed on the computer.  If you worked really hard in class today, this should take you only about 15-20 minutes.
