Tuesday 1/4 ~ More on Controlling Impression

1. Get Credit! Did you do the questions for Diary 17?

2. Discuss Diary 17
     *What is the controlling impression about the writer's personality? Values?
     *How does the writer "show" the reader her experience (rather than just telling about it)?

3. Read short pieces from The Sun magazine. ~ Although these works are not college essays, they are about identity, which is central to creating a good college essay.
  
   Take a picture of the handout and use it in Notability to highlight key elements.
