kind of grades have you made in the past? What are your work habits and
attitude about school?
11.Your expectations of this class: What do you expect to get out of this class?
Is there some particular area of English you would like me to cover this
year? Is there a particular area in English that you really don't enjoy? How do
you learn best: are you a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner?
12.Your goals for this semester: What do you plan to do this semester? Is your
goal simply to pass or actually to do well? Do you plan to participate in a
sport or other extracurricular activity?
13.Conclusion (must be final slide) – Finally, tell me one long-term goal you
have. This is a goal you would like to accomplish after graduating from high
school. Also, tell me why this goal is important to you. Include an anecdote
on the last slide. An anecdote is a short interesting story used to leave the
listener or reader with an indelible impression.

may be too personal for the class. However, you must not read your slides
