To: Mr. Marcus Subject: Mid-Project Report on History Paper Here’s an update on my history paper about China. At first I had trouble finding information on my topic, but I’ve made this progress. I went to the library, and Ms. Pate showed me how to use the computer for my search. After I showed you my project proposal, I took your advice to look at either Chinese dating practices or wedding traditions, but not both. After researching both topics, I found several sources on Chinese wedding traditions, but only a few on dating practices.

To: Anne Cline Subject: Vegetarian Lunch Options at Bay High Dear Ms. Cline: Last summer I became a vegetarian. After visiting my uncle’s farm in Iowa, I couldn’t bear the thought of eating meat anymore. When school started, I thought I could eat school lunches by simply staying away from meat dishes. My plan worked for a few weeks, but it got tough to eat peanut-butter sandwiches and applesauce every day.
