When is the character sketch due for 8-8?
Let's say Tuesday since I don't recall saying Monday last week.
8-7-Monday
DEAR MS.COSBURN,
I was completely caught off guard. I went away for 2 days thinking I can go a couple days without bringing my big fat binder containing my english work and homeroom and math work but no, I can't and now I'm completely stressed only being temporarily calmed down when I saw your former post saying that it was due Tuesday only to have my stress level maximized when I scrolled down and saw that my classes assignment is due Monday. I do realize that I am probably boring you to death and I am amazed that you made it this far and I do apologize that this post has turned into a letter but I do not want to alarm you when I come to school on Monday and disappoint you so I went a head and gave you a warning (not that you particularly care) but for my own self expression I did this. So to summarize (once again only assuming that you've made it this far before falling asleep) I did not do the assignment because a) I am hopelessly confused b) I had no idea what to do and c) I don't have anything to work with (the book). So to try and ease the awkward-ness of our STUDENT-TEACHER relationship (remembering your first few comments at the beginning of the year: We are not friends I am your teacher and you are my student (I sincerely apologize if I phrased that in a way that you don't find preferable). Anyway... I'm sorry that I didn't do the assignment and will understandingly take the consequences and will get the assignment done as soon as possible.
Your Student,
Najat Scott
I know I've become an annoyance but please just let me know what you would like to happen.
Dear Najat,
You write so nicely! I will be more brief since it is Sunday and I am not in school mode. I know that you were away for 2 days so you not completing the Character sketch is understandable. Please do not stress yourself out. The assignment was to write a 5 paragraph essay ( Intro, conclusion +3) about the main character in your Lit. Circle book. You are to focus on their personality, NOT physical traits and support your points with evidence from the novel.
I am happy to chat with you about this tomorrow and you may submit this Tuesday without penalty. :)
On another note, Samantha and Nikki arrived in English on Thursday and said "Your 2 favourite students are here!" to which I replied " but I thought Najat and Christine were away." LOL
See you tomorrow.
also ms.cosburn for the essay how long does it have to be? one page or 2?
About a page will suffice. Stay on topic. More isn't always better so ensure your evidence supports the point you are making.
ie: I know he is sensitive because when he saw the bird fall from its nest he immediately wanted to help it but didn't want to seem uncool in front of his friends.
Mrs. Cosburn can you pleas give me another example of a conclusion for the Character Sketch -yordanos 8-8
