It's All About You...

ASSIGNMENT #1

In order to help me to get to know you better, I'd like you to make your first blog post all about you. I'm asking you to shoot for a post of 3-4 paragraphs, although you may choose to write more.

You don't need to cover all of the following points, but they will help me to understand you better as a student of English. Anything you choose to tell me about yourself is relevant since I can select reading materials and activities that may be particularly suited to your interests and career choices.

The Younger You- where were you born? where have you lived? do you have brothers, sisters, pets, other importnat people in your life?

You as a Student- what was your public school experience like? what were your favourite subjects? How did you feel about your reading and writing? How has high school English been for you?

You as a Person- what are some of your interests and hobbies? how would your friends describe you? Do you have any personal goals you have set for yourself? (e.g. to become less shy, to do more homework, ask for help when needed)

The future you- what career do you see yourself doing? what college programs (if any) are you applying to? What other goals have you set for yourself? (e.g. travel, your own family, getting your deep water certification)

The good news about this assignment is that everyone who completes it on time gets %100--I've never wanted to tell a person I thought their life story was only worth a 6/10!
