23 –
Part 2
Dear LPS-Richmond Class of 2015,

Welcome to the first day of the 9th grade. I am looking forward to

a great year together; we are going to accomplish amazing things. In
order for me to be the best teacher possible, I need to know more
about you. Your first homework assignment is to write me a letter
introducing yourself. The letter should leave no more than three blank
lines on the page or should fill up all the blank space on the back of
this page. You should not skip lines. Please include the following
information, though feel free to write more than a page or add extra
details:

1. What are you like? How would you describe yourself? What
people, things, or activities are most important to you? What is
something you’re really good at? What are your best and worst
traits?
2. What do you think about school? Do you like school? Why or
why not? Do you think you are a good student? Why or why not?
Do you think you are smart? Why or why not? How did you do in
eighth grade?
3. What are you excited about for 9th grade English? What are you
looking forward to? What do you hope to learn or get out of this
class?
4. What are you nervous about? What worries you about 9th grade
in general? What worries you about 9th grade English
specifically?
5. What can I do? This year, I expect you to do your best. What do
you expect from me, Mr. Hester? What is the most important
thing I need to do as a teacher to help you succeed in our
class?

Your letter should:

 Begin with the following words: “Dear Mr. Hester”
 Leave no more than three blank lines or leave no blank space if
you are using the back of this page to write your letter
 Be written in complete sentences
 Have indented paragraphs
  End with the word “Sincerely,” followed by your name.

Have your letter ready to turn in by the beginning of class on Tuesday,

August 23.

Once again, I am looking forward to a great year together.

Sincerely,

Mr. Hester
