One thing I like to do is allow students to take ownership of the space where they will be learning. In order to do this, I want you to help design the class so you feel represented here. I think this makes the room more inviting to you, but also allows you to take pride in your classroom.
In order to do this, we will be creating a class banner. It will be made up of individual squares that you design and create to represent you. We will be working on these in class on Friday, so be sure to bring in any supplies you will need (i.e. markers, glitter, stickers, etc.) I have some materials, but nothing that would be specific to you. I will be providing the square.
Since this is a writing class, I want you to choose a quote, poem, or written passage that you feel represents you. This can be from a song, movie, TV show, book, etc. We will then be submitting a brief piece of writing (5-8 sentences) that discusses why you have chosen this quote, and how the design of the square represents you. The assignment is worth 20 points, so this is a good way to start the semester!
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out!
