Good Morning Grade 9's

Today I would like you to get started on your first writing assignment. 

Writing Assignment #1:

Students are to write a bio telling about themselves including: interests, hobbies, likes/dislikes, favourite foods, fav. books, foods etc. This assignment should be written in third person. Ex. Jane is a shy girl who lives in Comox with her two cats named Goofy and Mittens. Jane enjoys knitting in her free time …… This is like an author bio you would find on the back of a novel. Length 1 paragraph

Criteria: detailed, specific writing, written in bio format  and make it interesting not boring.( 10 marks)
When finished, you are to find a partner in the class to read your paragraph to and get them to help you improve  the piece by offering suggestions. Make sure the assignment is typed and has your name on it.

This assignment can be printed off next day and handed in for editing to Ms. Chase, for now save it on the l drive in your writing folder which you will need to create.

FLICKR sign up: When finished...get signed up onto Flickr and make me a contact. Manoeuvre your way around the site clicking on buttons to see what is there, and figure out what the site is all about.
