This is the assignment I made up for my ELD (English Language Development) students today. And for those of you who don't know, Jim Jones is that really annoying rapper that does that song where they say "BALLLLLLLLIINNNNNNN" over and over again. Look him up on youtube.

Jim Jones Goes To College
Jim Jones has become tired of the rap game. He has made up his mind that he no longer wishes to be a famous rapper, and has decided to commit himself to earning his college degree in business at UCLA. He has approximated that it will take him four and a half years to earn his degree, but after graduation he knows he can make thousands of dollars a month. He understands he will have to work hard and concentrate in his business math classes and do many equations, but he knows this is the only way he will be able to keep track of all the money he will be making after college. Jim has realized that he needs to improve his English language skills, and will take classes so he can learn to communicate clearly and logically. Jim has promised himself that he will have a good attitude during his time in college, and he will be civil with his classmates, even if he is not best friends with all of them. Overall, Jim Jones is excited about college and can’t wait to explain his future plans to his friends!
