Submit a presentable piece of writing on one of the following. On Thursday and Friday all English classes will be welcomed down to the auditorium to enjoy the readings of the fellow students, so make your writing presentable to a larger audience. I will select readers from each class, but will not force anyone to go on stage who does not wish to. Each student, however, must have a piece that could be read on stage. Seek a meaningful message in your writing; make it worth reading and contemplating. You’ve a lot of great things to say…here’s your chance to say them.
