counting down the days...

Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday!

The only assignment remaining is Cyber #30, the Letter to Your Future Self, which is due for everyone before midnight Thursday night. Feel free to post it earlier if you like.

Cyber #30:  Letter to your future self.
It is not exaggerating to say your freshman year of high school has been unlike any other. In this assignment, I want you to write a letter to your forty- or fifty- or sixty-year-old self. Explain the situation with the coronavirus, and what it has done to you. Describe your feelings, your emotions, your experiences. Talk about what your life has been like for the last several weeks, and what you are expecting this summer to be like, and what you hope next school year will hold. Take this letter in any direction you like.

Write 300 words (use more words if you need ‘em) that you will want to look at to remember this awful and momentous time in your life. I’m giving you until 11:59pm on Thursday, June 4, because I hope you will compose something that will transcend your routine assignment. This is your final writing assignment for this class.

When you’re done, post it to your blog, then print a copy for yourself to look at down the road.

You’re a special class, and not just because of the miserable hand you’ve been dealt. It’s been a pleasure to share time with you guys, and I wish you the very best. As my Mom always used to tell little Bobby before she sent me off to school, “Have fun, and do good work.”

Sincerely,
Mr. Schick

At long last, we have arrived at the end of this ridiculous school year. What a ride. I appreciate you folks so much - you had patience ...
