Second of Two Credos

Aim: How do we begin our second Credo?       

Journal Prompt #10: "Second Credo"
Explain something you learned from writing your first credo. How will this change your approach to your second credo?

Today you should begin your second credo. Think about what you learned from writing your first and use that experience to make this one even better. Remember, personal essays are no different from Regents essays in terms of writing. Credos still must be organized and developed. Opinions always must be supported with evidence and/or examples and analysis.

Planning, revising, and editing is always part of the process so continue to work with a peer editor. Use the peer editing worksheet to guide your editing.

You will submit the best of your two Credos for a project grade. Final Credos must be typed, double-spaced 12 pt. font at at least one-page long. Sharing Day is Wednesday.

For inspiration, you can listen to or read a multitude of personal essays at this Web site.
