Fill in the blank...I've never been more____ as a result of something this summer

Fill in the blank with good strong adjectives!

For this post, I want you to spend about 6-8 sentences telling me about something specific that happened to you this summer. Your blog post will start this way without exception: "I've never been more ______(strong adjective) as a result of something this summer." After you start that sentence, you will then detail what it was specifically that made you feel this way.

 For example:

"I've never been more gracious as a result of something this summer. This summer, our family dog died." (I would then go into why that experience has made me more gracious in 6-8 sentences).

This is due with the Summer Reading Assignment post on Monday, August 27th!

Summer Reading Assignment


Welcome Warriors, Class of 2016!

As you know, you were to have read two books this summer as part of your "summer homework" upon entering 9th grade. For your first blog post, I would like you to tell me about one of the two books you read. I want it to be 2 paragraphs. In the first paragraph, please give me a plot summary. Do not, in this paragraph anyways, bring in your personal feelings. In the second paragraph, I want you to respond to the book after reading it. This is the place for your opinion. Do not just tell me that you liked/disliked the story! I want to know why you feel that way. As discussed in blogging guidelines, spelling and grammar count towards your grade as does quality and quantity. Thoughtful responses will have, at the least, 6-8 sentences per paragraph.  I can't wait to hear about these great books!

This is due Monday, August 27th!
