Today we will....

1. Read the next college essay "Loss of a Father" together as a class (class copy--please don't keep it, but you may highlight or underline if you like)
2. Work with a partner to repeat yesterday's procedure for "Swimming":

• Answer the text-based questions #1-4 on the back on a separate sheet of paper using the RACE strategy
• Add on this question as #5--What are 2 character traits the author wants you to realize about him/her? Give textual evidence to support your answer.
• One copy with both names is fine if you like

3. Brainstorm/begin drafting the college essay

4. Rough draft due on Monday 9/14
