ASSIGNMENT: Write your own Theme for English B

If you're having a hard time thinking of what to write, you could:

• Tell me about your interests and hobbies and what you like to do in general
• Tell me about your heritage or life circumstances and how they have made you who you are
• Explain your philosophy of life--what you value
• Discuss challenges you've faced
• Talk about the ways that you learn best--maybe you like projects, maybe you like working in groups, maybe you like writing . . .
• Tell me who you are--what makes you, well . . . YOU
• BE SURE THAT WHAT YOU WRITE HELPS ME UNDERSTAND YOU AS A STUDENT
