Today, we talked about Apply Texas, a helpful webpage for people who are going to college in Texas. It’s a central location where you can submit one application for a multitude of Texas colleges and universities – and you only have to pay one fee! Pretty cool, right? Right! Some of you might not *need* this essay, and others of you (who are going to A&M) will be writing two of them!

We are writing Essay A:

apply

This is a very broad topic. So in order to help arrow down our ideas, we did a brainstorming activity in Blackboard. We went over my examples and I gave it to you to use as a model.

On Monday, we will choose the text structure for the essay and start writing it.

It’s Tea Time!

I just had a crazy idea tonight – what if we hosted a British tea time and invited people to come to tea and talk about what we have learned throughout the term(s)?

We could have tea, “biscuits”, shortbread, scones, and light sandwiches. Y’all know how I love to show off, and this would be awesome to show off how much you have learned and how fun English IV can be. Did you know that English IV is a BORING class in most schools? HERESY!

I have no idea if we’ll be able to do this, but I am super excited about it and am going to ask Mrs. Ekster about it on Monday!
