Personal Reflective Essay

Please welcome Ms. Marissa Petta from St. John Fisher College who will be doing her teacher internship with us for the next seven weeks.

AGENDA:

Review and discuss the novels and poetry we have read so far this year.

Essential question:  How has my reading and writing affected my world view?

What themes in these works stand out for you and have affected your understanding of the world--your world view?  What aspects of the writing craft have you learned or begun to appreciate more?  Have your ideas about narrative form and structure changed in any significant way?  What about the nature of poetic language and its power to evoke emotions?

This week write a well-developed "college style" personal essay, 500-750 words in standard format, specifically discussing your reading and writing this year and how it has affected your own perspectives about life.

CONTESTS!!!
