ASSIGNMENT #2 Grade 12


Your first assignment is to write an article that accomplishes at least one of these purposes:

1. Entertain me
2. Persuade me to do something
3. Teach me something.
4. Present me with a new perspective on a topic.
5. Inspire me.
6. Impress me.
7. Show me your depth of knowledge.

DO NOT WRITE AN ARTICLE THAT PRESENTS COMMON KNOWLEDGE UNLESS YOU WANT A COMMON MARK!

Make me smirk, make me scatch my head in wonderment, make me chortle, or make me weep.
DO NOT MAKE ME YAWN AS I READ YOUR ARTICLE!

Your topic: Grade 12

Good luck

ASSIGNMENT # 1 User Profile- Who Defines You?


Create a blog site and give the site an interesting, mature and appropriate title. Link to me and make sure I am linked to you.

Now that you have created a blog, compose a user profile that tells me something about you.

Use four characters that define some aspect of who you are. These characters can be real  people, or characters from novels, movies, cartoons, or othe genres.

Explain what these charcters symbolize about your background, accomplishments, activities, future plans, or values.

Your profile must be at least 150 words.  Write this in third person as if you are writing about someone else. Make sure you have an engaging introduction and a clever conclusion.

Consider this an entertaining magazine article, not a job application form! Feel free to add pictures, like a magazine, but remember that you are marked only on what you write.

Be brave, be bold, be brilliant, but don't be bashful or boring.
