- First, I apologize for all the Google emails. I didn't realize that you were inundated by such messages from me.
- Note, though, that I have upcoming assignments in your Google Classroom as some of them can be done digitally.
- This week:
- College Essay #2
- Next week:
- Out of Class Experience
- Outside Reading Annotation (we will do the writing portion in quarter 2)
- Example College Essay for Darker Themes (In general, I would say it is wiser not to include very dark themes in your personal narrative. It's challenging to show the positive truly eclipse the negative, but it is possible.)
- Latin: inundare "to overflow, run over"
- Examples:
- We are inundated by distractions, loosely packaged as information, on social media today.
- "As a young surgeon in training at the University of California San Francisco General Hospital in the early '80s, my colleagues and I were inundated with an epidemic of young men with fevers, rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and eventually death." -- Richard Carmona
- Before you move on, please compose a sentence with your vocabulary word that features an opening prepositional phrase.
