GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Your first writing assignment is very easy. All you have to do is complete the sentences with information about yourself. For each sentence mention THREE things. Here are the sentences:

1. Things I like to do for fun are _____________.
2. Three places I've been to in Puerto Rico that I really like are ___________.
3. I am ____________. (three good qualities).
4. I am __________ (three negative characteristics).
5. I wish I could ______________.

Example:

1. Things I like to do for fun are dance, watch stand-up comedy, and play word games.

2. Three places I've been to in PR that I really like are Playa Sucia in Cabo Rojo, Culebras, and El Yunque.

3. I am a good friend, honest, and caring.

4. I am impatient, too sentimental, and unorganized.

5. I wish I could eat anything and not gain weight, live in an apartment with an ocean view, and have the summer off (no work!!)

TASK: Now that you've learned something about me, it's your turn. Be creative. Be specific. Don't forget to mention THREE things for each sentence. Also, make at least one comment about what I wrote.

DATE DUE: February 4, 2010

WELCOME TO BLOGGING

Hi! Welcome to English 1102. As part of the English class, we will be working on blogs. This will help you to practice your English in a different, and hopefully, a fun way. Throughout the quarter you will be required to comment on my blog entries. This will make up 20% of your final grade.

Points will be given for your effort. No points will be deducted for errors. However, points will be deducted for incomplete work, late entries or work not done by you. Remember, this is just another way to practice English so do the entry by yourself.

At the end of each blog, a due date will be posted. Each blog is worth 10 points. If the entry is late (up to 3 days), you will only get 5 points. Entries posted later than 3 days will NOT be counted.

Hope you enjoy this experience.
