D: Decisions. Write about a decision you made that was a difficult one. Maybe a good decision that shaped your high school experience (or just your life in general). Or write about a “bad” decision you made. Maybe one you would change if you could.
You could also write about a decision that you’ve made and you’re not sure whether it was a “good” one or a “bad” one yet.
It’s your last semester. You want it to pass quickly. You’re counting down.
I do understand.
BUT, about 20 weeks have to go by before you get there. That’s a lot of time to wish away. So we’ll keep working in class, and I’ll keep assigning homework . . .
And we’ll think about the past, the present, and the future. More precisely, we’ll WRITE about the past, the present, and the future.
Every Friday, you’ll have an assignment. Some will be specific. Some will be more general. For all, make your entry detailed. Remember the guidelines for description–use your senses. Tell a good story!

ABC: the beginning; the starting place. What do you remember about your first day or your first year of high school? (the building, the crowds, a class, a friend, a teacher, a competition, a sports event?)
