DIRECTIONS (follow carefully):
*Put a header at the top of
your Word document. Include your name, period, and date in the header.
Thanks for doing a great job with this in April!
*Include the title under your header with a font size between 18 and 28 (in this
case, your title should be "Perseverance").
*You must use at least two of the
six prompts
below to complete your writing:
1)
Provide your own personal definition of perseverance. You may use the ideas
provided above (in orange),
but be sure to use your own words and style.
2) Explain what
perseverance
means to you (what makes this trait important?).
3) Describe two
or three real-life or possible real-life situations that serve as an example of
the value (tell what happens or happened).
4) How do
others (someone you know...famous athlete or actress, family member, friend,
etc.) show this
perseverance?
5) Has there
ever been a time when you have needed to persevere? (Think of the "dude" that
came to speak and ride bike for us. He is the guy that jumped over Mr. Townsend
and Jeffery Trapp with his trick bike. He showed perseverance in many
ways.)
6)
Think about
your future. When might you need to show perseverance?
*Your writing should be at least two
strong paragraphs (this is NOT to be very long; maximum font size limit is
14).
*I am going to grade on how well you have
PROOFREAD this paper. If you
have lots of little mistakes, your grade will be very low. This is one paper
that you should have a friend or teacher
read (to find mistakes) before printing!
*This is to be printed and turned in on or before
Thursday, May 19. It can also be
written on paper.
*This final writing is worth 15 quiz
points! Take your time and do it correctly!!
