Write me one paragraph about yourself on the back of this paper to help me get to know you better. You will need at least 5 sentences and I’d appreciate no more than 10 as I want to read them all by Friday night. If you would like a writing guide, then you can (but you do NOT have to) follow this guide:

Sentence 2 - The second sentence could include how you feel about Language Arts and why you feel that way
Sentence 3 – This sentence could include something personal like how many siblings and or pets you have.
Sentence 4 could start like this: One random fact about me is that both of my favorite flavors of ice cream are green (pistachio and mint chip).
Sentence 5 & 6 – Sum up with something cool you did this summer and how now you are really looking forward to (or dreading?) this class.
