Sentence 2 - The second sentence could include how you feel about Language Arts and why you feel that way Sentence 3 – This sentence could include something personal like how many siblings and or pets you have. Sentence 4 could start like this: One random fact about me is that both of my favorite flavors of ice cream are green (pistachio and mint chip). Sentence 5 & 6 – Sum up with something cool you did this summer and how now you are really looking forward to (or dreading?) this class. What are 5 of the most important qualities that you think a teacher should have to be a great Language Arts teacher. Decide on 5 top qualities (usually adjectives). List them below. Ask me what to draw here: ____________________________
