Blog #1: Introduce yourselves (due Friday)
Today each of you briefly introduced yourselves to the class. Now I
would like you to tell us some more about yourself in writing.
Here are some questions to consider:
Where are you in life (meaning, what stage)? Did you finish high school? College? Graduate school? Talk about your background, and your professional and personal aspirations. Also, discuss your interests, hobbies, and talents. Tell us something about yourself that makes you unique. Feel free to add anything else that you would like to share about yourself with the class.
You should post your writing as a comment to this post. Just click on comment.

Welcome to your blog!
Hello 5A and 5B,
The purpose of this blog is twofold. First, it will occasionally be a place for you to do some of your homework assignments. I will also place weekly schedules and vocabulary lists on it so if you're absent on Monday or you misplace (lose) your list, you can replace it easily.
I will also use the blog to post internet links for different activities such as on-line reading and vocabulary practice/quizzes and listening activities.
You should check this blog every few days in order to keep current with the class.
I look forward to a great semester with all of you, and I look forward to "seeing" you on-line,
HC
