  1. alright As promised.
  2. We're putting a pause on our essay writing unit for
  3. this week to give you some time to adjust to
  4. our new schedule.
  5. But I felt like it would be a really good
  6. idea for us.
  7. Thio practice.
  8. Um, writing in order Thio, just get get the words
  9. flowing. So we're going to spend both of our asynchronous
  10. lessons this week doing some creative writing.
  11. I know sometimes it's hard to see where academic writing
  12. and creative writing over lap, But the thing is, is
  13. that one of the most important parts of academic writing
  14. is feeling comfortable with it, and creative writing helps us
  15. do that.
  16. So for this lesson, we are writing letters to ourselves.
  17. I felt like this was a good point to do
  18. this since where are like, well, we're kind were a
  19. little bit past halfway through the year, but we're experiencing
  20. a lot of changes.
  21. So it really is, um, in retrospect, and I feel
  22. like these two very different half of the year that
  23. we are experiencing now I want this to be a
  24. very honest letter.
  25. So I'm giving you three different options on what version
  26. of yourself to write to the first option is to
  27. write a letter to yourself at the beginning of this
  28. year. It's crazy because that was only like 4.5 months
  29. ago, but it's been a really long 4.5 months.
  30. You've experienced so much you've learned so much.
  31. Whether it's about yourself or anything else, you can give
  32. advice to to the person that you were at the
  33. beginning of the year.
  34. You can tell them what to expect.
  35. You can tell them what to remember.
  36. I'm not giving you any guidelines on what you need
  37. to talk about Justus long as you find it valuable.
  38. The second option is to write a letter to your
  39. current self.
  40. This would be a really good option if you feel
  41. like you need to take a step back and remind
  42. yourself what's important, like to breathe or to prepare yourself
  43. for the rest of the year.
  44. You can think about those experiences or lessons that you've
  45. learned already in the first half of the year and
  46. talk about how you can apply them moving forward and
  47. I know what I'm saying.
  48. Gear. I'm talking about an academic year.
  49. You can talk about school.
  50. I know it's like the most prominent thing in your
  51. life right now, but it doesn't have to be about
  52. school. Your third option is to write a letter to
  53. yourself at the end of the year, which again it's
  54. Onley in 4.5 months.
  55. But it's really crazy because it's not only the end
  56. of the year, it's the end of your whole middle
  57. school experience.
  58. What types of things do you feel like?
  59. You at that point is gonna need to hear before
  60. moving on from middle school.
  61. So right to one of those three versions of yourself
  62. and follow these other three guidelines about 150 words.
  63. First person and be honest, go ahead and get ready.
