Thursday, September 7th • Greetings, humans. Once you place your books at your seat, (try to) retrieve the same laptop that you had yesterday. Log on and then locate your Word doc from yesterday . By the end of today, you should: • Have no trouble logging into a school computer • Have a storage location for your school assignments • Be prepared to email teachers/adults • Have a better idea of who your teacher is (and I will have a better idea of who you are)
Email Etiquette Checklist • Have a subject relating to what your email is about: “Introductory Assignment” • Have a formal greeting: “Good morning”, “Hello”, etc. • Address the recipient of your email: “Hi, Mr. Harris” • Have a short message explaining the purpose of your email: “Here is my writing assignment.

Oh The Places You’ve Read… For your summer reading assignment in this class, we will be focusing on setting, a greatly important part of any story, including your own. The place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place. In your notebook or on a piece of lined paper, begin describing the setting of your summer reading book with as much detail as you can. Consider:Time period, the location, how it affects the story, how it affects the characters, how it came to exist, how it could be better, and how it could be worse.
Think about your story in different ways: • Time period, the location, how it affects the story, how it affects the characters, how it came to exist, how it could be better, and how it could be worse.
Looking Ahead • This will be your first project • You will receive a grading guideline on Monday • Use this class period and this weekend to prepare yourself with as much information as possible for your setting
