Using the information you learn about your partner in class on Thursday, you will write a poem using the attached instructions and create a half sheet (8 1/2 in x 5 1/2 in) with a title, your poem, a byline, a photo of the person your poem is about, and any other "bling" you would like to include. You will present this to the class on Tuesday 9/6, and it will be displayed in the classroom. Use colored paper, stickers, drawings, glitter, etc. Make it beautiful!

Create a single Google Slide which will introduce yourself to me. This will only be seen be me; I will not share this or ask you to present it to the class. (You will be doing that for another assignment.) :) On this Google Slide, include a photo of yourself as well as your responses to the following questions: 1) What are you most looking forward to this school year? 2) What is something unique/interesting about you that you would like to share with me? 3) What is a personal goal you have for yourself (unrelated to Language Arts)? 4) What is a goal you have related to this class?  Please use four bullet points (not numbers) and respond to the questions in complete sentences and in order. Be creative with your slide. Black text on a white slide? Boring. Make sure your color choices, font choice and size, and design are easily legible.
