Hi! Today in LA4 everyone introduced themselves and we learned more about why the students are in SIJ, what their favorite movies\/books are, and what they want to be when they grow up! We went through their previous English writing experiences and what type of essays they\u2019re familiar with. We previewed the rest of the curriculum and what their final project would look like. Overall, we got to know each other and are excited for the rest of the program! – LA4 Donia<\/p>\n\n\n\n
