This assignment is simple. Follow the directions carefully and discover who you might be:

Materials:

  • Thesaurus

  • Computer

  • Thought and Consideration

Directions:

  1. Open up a fresh page in Microsoft Word or some other word processing software.

  2. Type your heading on the paper and then type your name in 24 point font and center it on the first available line. You may choose the font and the color of the font to express your name as you like. 

  3. Think of a word, one single adjective, that describes you. Type the word in the font of your choice and color of your choice, centered, under your name in 16 point font.

  4. Look up the word you chose  in the thesaurus and find a synonym that expresses who you are. Stick with an adjective. Type this word under the first word, again in 16 point font, though you may choose the font and color.

  5. Look the second word up in the thesaurus. Pick another adjective that you like and put this on your paper, again in 16 point font, again choosing the color and style.

  6. Repeat this process until you have reached the bottom margin.

    Anonymous

    Steady

    Constant

    Determined

    Resolute

    Earnest

    Passionate

    Ardent
