Past, Present, Future Tense

Write three paragraphs describing your life. In the first paragraph, write about how you used to be (as a child, a grade-schooler, a freshman, etc.) in the past tense (I was, I liked, I ran, etc.). The second paragraph tells about how you are now, and should be written in the present tense (I am, I like, I run, etc.). Third and final paragraph will describe your expectations for yourself in the future (junior, senior, parent, millionaire, etc.) and will be written in the future tense (I will be, I will like, I will run, etc.).

Each paragraph should include an example describing how you were/are/will be. For instance,

When I was six years old I always chewed with my mouth open. One day I was at a picnic with my family and, of course, I was chewing with my mouth open. My sister Rhonda saw a fly land on my mouthful of hamburger and later told me I had eaten the fly. After she told me that, I stopped chewing with my mouth open.

If you can't think of anything, please think harder or make it up. I will not be using my time machine to check out your story.

Stories that are not classroom-appropriate will be returned to you for re-writing in Patriot Academy. Additional consequences may apply.
