Rewriting is when playwriting really gets to be fun. In baseball you only get three swings and you're out. In rewriting, you get almost as many swings as you want and you know, sooner or later, you'll hit the ball. Neil Simon

FIRST DAY'S HOMEWORK: Intro Letter

Send Mr. Zavala an email from an active email account (one that you will check, daily).
Write me a short intro letter from that account
In the letter, tell me how you have changed as you have come of age, using 3-4 sentences that follow a definite pattern. It can range from anything as simple as hobbies and TV shows, to more abstract ideas including how you behave, treat people etc. For example:

  • My favorite movies were once Disney animations; now they're more like "Friends with Benefits."
  • I used to build with Lego, now I build on Facebook.
    etc.

Notice that this is your intro to Sentence Fluency!
