JOURNAL QUESTION:
We all have something in our lives that remind us of happy memories. There are many things that I enjoy for that reason, one of those being puns. Puns are jokes that are made by playing with words. An example is “To write with a broken pencil is pointless.” These kind of really bad jokes remind me of my Grandpa! Whenever I hear one I think of him. What kinds of things are precious to you?

Due 12/1 20 Sentences. This is your last blogger assignment. Aren't you sad?? I am. >_<

Journal Question #5

I have always heard that in some cultures people who spend time by themselves are considered strange. I am the kind of person who needs some time by myself. I love to be around people, but to really relax and not die of stress I need to spend time alone. During that time I like to sleep, read a book, take a walk, sleep, write or some other activity that puts me at ease. What do you think of alone time? Do you need it or is it something strange to you?
REMEMBER- Due 11/17 at 5pm. 20 Sentences.

Journal Questions #4

People tend to think that fears and dreams are really different things, but sometimes the things that we fear the most are things that might get in the way of our dreams by making them impossible. My dream is to travel. Ever since I was a child I have wanted to see the world. I have been able to travel out of the country 3 times in my life, once to England and twice to Japan. I was so excited every time, actually I cried tears of joy the moment I saw Japan for the first time from the air! I used to have to many fears about traveling. That would not have money, that I would not be able to make close friendships with anyone outside of my culture. Now that I’ve made many friends from outside of my culture I am excited to be able to travel more in the future! Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of visiting your country too!

What are your dreams and aspirations for the future? What kinds of fears do you have that relate to this? Or do you not have any fears? Why not?

Due 11/10 at 5pm!! 20 sentences required.

Journal Question #3

This next week many Americans will celebrate ‘Halloween,’ a day dealing with the dead. This is a holiday that was once created in respect of the dead, but now is primarily a time for people to dress up in costumes, get candy and share scary stories. In your culture, do you have a holiday around this time of the year? Is this holiday similar to Halloween? If yes, how is it? If no, do you have a holiday that concerns the dead?

I personally don't celebrate the holiday but I do like to have some fun with my friends.

Anyways,


REMEMBER THE DUE DATE IS NOV 3rd at 5PM. 20 SENTENCES in PARAGRAPH FORM!!!

Journal Question #2

Courtship, dating, arranged marriages, online dating sites, random stranger; these are all possible options that one has in finding a husband or wife. Are you in a relationship? How did you meet that person? If you aren’t currently in a relationship were you before? Have you not yet been in a relationship, why not? (I (Anna) haven't and I'm quite happy with how I am!) If you don’t want to talk about your love life, then what can you tell me about common ways that people in your country meet the love of their life.

Welcome to the News and Exciting Term of CESL 086!!!

Hello Students!
I know that you are all exciting (or at least should be) about being in writing this term.
If you have had to do my assignments before I should warn you that they are a tad different this term.
You will always find the homework assignment on this page. If you cannot post on your page, or if you have any questions of any kind please post a comment on the homework assignment. (To post on a homework assignment, click on it's title and scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Post a Comment").

There will be a homework assignment due every monday at 5pm. Any homework turned in after this time will still be accepted, but there will be a 1.5 point reduction. Also, any homework that does not meet the sentence length requirements will receive a 1.5 point reduction. Each assignment is graded out of 10 points so if your assignment was late and didn't meet requirements there is the possibility that you will receive 7/10 (70%) if your entries content is good.
Also, I grade these assignments based on content. Grammar is not as important as your ideas, so please try to express yourself as best as you can. Be creative and funny, these two things will get you a good grade.

I am available to tutor if you need hep in any of your courses so please e-mail me at ana_lightcap86@yahoo.com

Thanks!!
