Popularity



For this week's English, you are to write about popularity. Think about the following ideas:
Do you think someone has to be good-looking or pretty to be popular?
Does popularity depend on your personality, looks, where you live, how much money your parents have, how good you are at sports, how smart you are in school, if you are kind, polite, honest, the freedom your parents give you?
If you think popularity depends on your personality, explain why. What particular personality or character traits do you mean?
Are some people popular at one time and not at another? Why?
What behaviors could you change or improve about yourself that would make you more popular?

Now, after having thought about some of the above questions, write a composition of at least two paragraphs about popularity. Do not try to include all the ideas from above in one paragraph. Separate ideas need separate paragraphs.

REMEMBER:
__ 1. 5-8 sentences for EACH paragraph, including a transitional sentence between paragraphs
__ 2. Focus on the five elements of good writing, particulary IDEAS.
__ 3. Clearly reworked rough draft
__ 4. Signature of adult who proofread your composition for PRESENTATION
__ 5. Good copy in ink.
__ 6. All three papers turned in with final on top.
