 1. Welcome back. I hope you had a good summer and are ready to start studying again.

2. Last class before the summer, I gave you a choice of the following compositions:

• Autobiography
• Modern Technology: Good or Bad?
• A Book Report
• A Book Review

Family History Project

• I asked you to do the research for a Family History Research Project during the summer.
• You should have your notes you took with you so you can start writing.

Writing a Research Proposal

• This fall, I want all first year students to work on writing a composition describing what you plan to do for your thesis.
• Use the material that you prepare for the fall happyou kai.
• Look at the page on Writing a Research Proposal.

Today

• I have outlined many options for writing today.
• I do not mind which composition you choose to write first, so start the composition that you are most prepared to write.
