  2. Agenda Warm-up Housekeeping Writing Sample Learner Poll and Reflection Who Are We? Goals
  3. August 26 Warm-up: Looking Back Where were you at this time last year? Describe yourself and how you have changed since last year. (Think deeper than…well, I used to have long hair, but now it’s short.) Make sure to write a full paragraph.
