Dear Class,
Today I will have you do 4 things.
On your blog please type 3 entries:
(1) Plans for the future - What are your plans for Christmas vacation, next semester, and the next year? Will you continue in the ALP, go to another school, or return to your country. Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences.
(2) Wishes - What do you wish you could change about yourself? (For example, I wish I were taller.) Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences.
(3) Annoying things - Please type your class journal of "What is something you find annoying?" on your blog. I will return the journal you did in class. If you don't have a journal, please talk to me.
(4) Please look at your classmates' blogs and make 6 comments. You can choose any blog that you didn't comment on before, and make a comment. This is part of your grade also. :-)
I will also be coming to talk with you about your essays during class today.
Remember, we have class on Friday this week, and class on Wednesday next week. This Friday, come to our class in CP 207. On Wednesday next week, please come to our class in Computer Science 207 from 8:00 - 9:00.
Please ask if you have any questions. Thank you!

Dear Class,
Today I have 3 blog entries for you to write. --Please remember to use "spell check." Please ask if you don't know how spell check works.
1) Thanksgiving is a time in the U.S. that we stop and think about things we are thankful for. Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences telling what you are thankful for in your life.
2) You have studied very hard in the ALP in all of your classes. Please write a paragraph of about 10 sentences telling something interesting you learned in one of your other classes. (It doesn't have to be specifically about English, but can be about the information you learned about something. -- For example you could tell about a person, group of people, or thing you read in Reading or Vocabulary class. Or something you learned in your elective class.)
3) What do you plan to do over your Thanksgiving vacation? --Will you travel, go shopping, spend time with family/friends, enjoy relaxing? -- Please write 3-4 sentences telling what you will do.
Thank you!
See you Friday!
