Welcome to your first day of 8th grade English! We are going to begin by reflecting on what inspires you. Here are some ways I inspired:
- Reading - some of my favorite authors are Toni Morrison, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Sherman Alexie.
- Art and photography - I love going to the many museums and galleries in New York.
- Travel
- Nature
- Music
- Film
- Current and world events
Think about what inspires you and write in any way you want to. You can focus on one or more topics. Here are some ideas:
- Poem
- Essay
- Story
- Free write
- Web or chart
- List
- Comic
- Drawings
Every weekend, find some time to think about what excites you and ignites your imagination. Bring in an artifact or idea to explore in writing on Monday.
