Dear Class,


Welcome back! We are now in the last week of May. I hope that this class has been very helpful in your efforts to read and write in English. I also want to wish you a big congratulations for having done a lot of reading and writing in class.

Tonight, we will read to articles from The New York Times:

Two! But they are very short ones. We will once again find out about the ff.: Main ideas, supporting ideas, characters, and their roles in the report.

We will also talk about essay-writing fundamentals, to help you prepare in your class writing project. This essay will be important to you in your life! Whether you are applying to college, or a new job, chances are, you will be asked for a "writing sample." It's always good to have one at home that you can show to your future college or employers.

Your Writing Project

For this class, you will be submitting 3-4 page Essay. You will work on this in the month of June. I expect you to use Computer Tuesdays to type your work in Microsoft Word.

You will receive specifics about the project tomorrow.

Great job so far!


Your Valiant Teacher,


Bino
