Homework due Monday 1/27 + Tuesday 1/28
NOTE: Bring your Pre-AP readers every day next week except Wednesday.
Assignment 1 of 3:
Finish a rough draft of your paragraph before coming to class. You will have one final hour of class time to work on your paragraphs. In that time you should be ready to (1) peer edit for someone else/receive feedback from someone else and (2) begin typing up your final draft.
Assignment 2 of 3:
Complete your outline if you have not done so already. Remember to pay special attention to how you describe the two careers you will talk about and make sure to select strong evidence from your life.
Strong job descriptions will ...
... describe typical responsibilities of someone with this job.
... be written in your own words.
... make a connection between your personality and the job responsibilities.
Strong evidence from your life is ...
... based on more than just being interested in something (ex. I'd make a good artist because I like to draw).
... specific and full of detail (NOT "I'm artistic because I have been drawing since I was 5 years old" or "I'm a supportive person because I like helping people get better").
