Assignment 1: Writing Sample

Today is your first day as a high school student, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I know this is a new experience, and frankly this year, it is an odd experience! The unknown is challenging!! Let's channel this idea for your writing sample.

You are going to write a paragraph on the following topic:

Topic: How do you feel about attending high school? Growing up, you have watched at least a thousand tv shows that featured high school scenarios. Now it's your turn to talk about your expectations.

Tips:

I. Suggested Details:

A. Introductory statement (Do not begin with a question). 
B. Thesis statement: (This is going to be the idea that you are going to prove/ support/ develop throughout the paragraph)- What point are you going to prove about the topic?

C. Be sure to include specific details.....don't be vague

(You can include vivid background details to support/ develop your idea of high school)

D. Conclusion

**Each paragraph should be at LEAST 8-10 sentences...….If you write more.....awesome!!

-You are allowed to use first person.....NEVER second person (you)

-Use complete sentences
