After going through the interview and highlighting the information I wanted to use I wrote my first draft. I then proofread it, looking for errors in spelling, punctuation, capitals, and sense. And here it is all done:
Julia Stokien, a teacher at Dalton since 1988, was born in New York City at Lenox Hill Hospital. She has four sisters and one husband whose names all begin with J! But not her two daughters —- their names are Emma and Katie. Julia is an animal lover. She grew up in the country on a “mini-farm.” There were dogs, cats, and lots of other animals, even a donkey. Today she has only two cats. But she’d love to have a dog. Just last year she babysat a puppy bulldog. Julia is an avid reader and is now reading The Letters of E. B. White.
