Today in English, we will--

• find out about this class
• hand out literature books
• fill out an information card giving me your first and last name, the name you usually go by, a phone number where I can reach a parent or guardian (and the name of the parent or guardian I will reach if I call that number)
  
• write two things about yourself: Three sentences that you think someone else would use to describe you to someone else in a conversation and three sentences that you would use to describe yourself to someone else who had never met you. Be prepared for me to read these aloud.
  
• Homework for Friday: Have your summer reading signed list and reports for Friday. Also have your notebook with dividers (properly labeled) and notebook paper for Friday.
• Homework for Monday: Read the article about the students studying under the airport lights and do a journal entry discussing in what way(s) you see your education--both current and future--as being valuable to you in life.
