Homework for Monday

• Take a photo to be attached to your "This I Believe" essay. 
• A photo of yourself is preferred, but you can get creative if you'd rather not show your face. You could have someone take a photo of your hands or shoes, for example. Or of you walking away from the camera. You could use a photo of something related to your essay, too.
• Illustrate your essay! Think like the guy who runs Humans of New York

• Submit first draft by Sunday, June 28 at 8 PM.
