If your CTLS is not working, complete the following assignment.
Before completing the assignment, write 10 facts about yourself that you'd want someone to know. After completing your list, please complete the assignment on the lesson assignments tab.
Task:
Do you know what it means to RAMBLE? Has a teacher ever asked you to STOP rambling in your writing? What does that mean? Rambling means that the writer jumps around from one idea to the next while also including random, seemingly disconnected ideas. Write a brief autobiography of your life that begins with "I was born in..." and then allow your mind to flow with ideas as they come. Let your subconscious mind take control and write about whatever memories "pop" into your mind. Don't edit, critique, or revise your writing. Let it ramble.
(2 paragraphs; 6-7 sentences)
