Oh, High School Part 1: First Day Memories

Think back to your first days of high school. In the assignment section of your notebook, write about: How you prepared (physically, mentally, emotionally) for your first day of high school? What were you feeling as the days grew nearer to the start of the school year? What were you feeling those first few days? How do you feel now? What group(s) do you fit into?

Part 2: Cafeteria Seating What are the different groups in the cafeteria in Mean

Girls? What different groups can be found in our own

cafeteria? Would you say these groups are a good or bad thing?

Why or why not?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caIlwCi6JCc

Oh, High School Part 3: New Kid

What do the high schoolers in Billy Madison think of Billy?

How does this contrast with the kids in his elementary school class?

Part 4: Saving A Friend How do Hazel, Isaac, and Augustus love,

support, and save each other from life’s messes?

In the assignment section of your notebook, write about: What is the best or hardest thing you have ever had to do for a friend? Why was it the best or hard?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vNGX3c03gM

Oh, High School: On- Demand Writing Part 5: Saving Yourself

Answer Sutter’s college essay prompt from The Spectacular Now for your own life:

“Discuss a challenge or hardship you have faced in your life and describe how you have overcome it.” If you haven’t yet overcome the hardship you plan to describe, how do you hope to overcome it.

I will be the only one who reads this. It is okay to be real and vulnerable. Be honest. I want to know the real you. This will be due at the end of class tomorrow!
