Line#3: Gerund, Gerund, Gerund (-ing words about beginning topic)

Your topic can be about anything, but try to be original. This is a homework assignment, and therefore you should not be bothering Maria in the office to use her computer on the day it is due. If you do not have a computer at home, then bring your rough draft to room 2 before or after school and use the classroom computer. As usual, we will read the poems in class.
