Reading/Writing Pre-test

Last week we read some cool images and thought about what they might mean, and this week we are going to read some amazing essays by well-known authors to see what they have to say. We are also going to write our own essay-- yes!

There are a lot of steps in-between, but by Friday we will have the final draft of our original essay to turn in. Below are links to the documents we used in class-- for the sample essays themselves, you need to see me.  Thanks!
