HOMS 2.1

DO NOW: After rereading the story “My Name,” write about your own name. Who gave it to you? What language does it come from? What does your name originally mean (google it!)? If you were named after someone in your family, tell a story about that person. How well does your name “fit” you? If you were going to rename yourself, what name would you choose and why?
