The Things We Wrote

Wow, it has already been four months since I revisited by grammar school, but it has been even longer since I have been a student there. It was a great little Catholic school.

My 7th and 8th grade English teacher pulled out these writing assignments she has saved to serve as examples for current students. I have removed dates and my last name, but I must say I think these are pretty good for a 13 and 14-year-old to have written--for both of us. I only vaguely remember writing one of mine, but I definitely remember helping my sister with the limerick about Sandy the cat. We switched classrooms for different subjects, and I remember being in English class when I was in 8th grade and getting the warm fuzzies from staring at my sister's drawing of Sandy. All these have been photocopied and that is why there is some fuzziness and the disappearance of a sentence that was highlighted on paper. In person, the illustration of Sandy was large, colorful, and realistic from a distance. You have to zoom in by clicking on the images to read them on this blog. Enjoy.
