Final Question

Well folks, this is it. The final blog entry.
Most of you have done a great job of responding to our weekly questions, and I've really enjoyed reading your responses.

For our final entry, I'd like you to discuss the class. More specifically, what do you think you can take away from our 15 or so weeks together? You might discuss something that has to with writing, or you could maybe talk about something having to do grammar. Maybe you feel that you are taking away something completely unrelated to both writing and grammar. If you don't think you can take away anything from the class, what do you wish you could have improved?

As a follow-up question, what do you wish we could have covered in this class that we didn't do?

Please be honest, as this is simply a truthful reflection on our time together during the 2010 fall semester.

Thanks for writing!

Josh

Week 11 Question

Hi folks!

I hope you enjoyed the Halloween weekend. I hope you equally enjoy your day off tomorrow.

Next week we will take a short field trip to a local high school. During this visit, you will have the opportunity to meet and talk to American high school students. We will also use this visit as a way to generate ideas for our third essay, which will be a cause-effect essay about some issue related to American high school students.

As a prelude to this trip, I'd like for you to discuss your impressions of American high school students. More specifically, I'd like you to explain what stereotypes you have about high school students in the U.S. (your assumptions about what you think American high school students are like). These stereotypes can be based on movies, TV shows, pop music, hearsay (what you've heard other people say), or personal experience.

Please respond to this question by no later than Sunday, Nov. 7th.

As always, thank you for your responses.
