Deadline for Entries is
March 15, 2008
Topic is:
"The Person Who Influenced My
Love of Irises" |
To
begin your essay, write down things about this person that makes them
special to you, what they have done more than anyone else to encourage
you, teach you, show you, etc. Take some of these ideas and write
sentences to support your ideas. Pick one idea to start the first
paragraph, and explain yourself a little. Take some of the other
ideas and make up the middle of your essay. Then, conclude your
essay with sentences that support everything you’ve written.
Be careful!
Your essay must be 500 words or less, and I know there are so
many things about irises that I like that I could write much more than
500 words!
Your essay must be in your own words, but an adult, such as your
parents or a teacher can help you check your punctuation and spelling.
Double-check everything before you send in your final draft.
