Unit 1: Who Am I?

Throughout the year, we will try to answer the question "Who am I?" as we read, write, and talk. Unit 1 is a writing unit designed to get you thinking about yourself and what is important to you. But express and reflect writing is not only about sharing details about yourself but also urges you to think about why people, places, and things are important to you. Plus, you get to build a great portfolio of your fantastic writing which you can save and look back on for years and years to come. So, who are you? Let's find out.
