TODAY'S GOALS:
- Open a professional google account if you do not know your @melrosememphis.com account
- Set up your notes and Life After Melrose google docs
- Write your introductory paragraph
- Show both google docs and your intro paragraph to Coach Mattice
Access your professional google account (create a new one if necessary, name only, no nicknames or crude language), make your password your cell phone number (all 10 digits), and create two google docs, one titled Notes and the other titled Life After Melrose.
In the Notes document you will begin to gather all of your insights, ideas, and notes during the next three weeks. It is a place where you can jot down ideas, write questions, and brainstorm. This is where you'll write down websites, ideas, dreams, and random thoughts.
In the Life After Melrose document, you will write your final paper. This document must be Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced. Papers with incorrect formatting will immediately be deducted 30%. This is the document you will print at the end of the year to turn in.
Once you have your google docs set up, show me and I will sign off.
Then, write your introductory paragraph for your Life After Melrose paper.
- Introduce yourself
- Are you from Orange Mound? From another area in Memphis? From somewhere else?
- What grade are you in? What graduating class are you in?
- What sports and activities are you involved in?
- What is your favorite class?
- Introduce anything else about yourself that you believe will be important for the audience to know
- Tell your audience the purpose of your writing
Once you have your introductory paragraph written, show me and I will sign off.
