Welcome!

Again, welcome to our blog! Blogs have become a popular new way of expressing your thoughts, opinions, and emotions, especially in reference to current events.

To start the class blogging, we will be working in the library/lab for a short period of time about once a week. Each week we will have a new assignment for you to accomplish. Let's get started!

This week's assignments:
  • Before we go any further into the new semester, we want to know more about you. Tell us a little about yourselves. Give us your name and tell us what kinds of hobbies and interests you have. How do you feel about the new semester?
  • Answer the poll on the right hand side of the blog. Check all of the answers that apply to your experiences.Reply to these requests by clicking "Comments" below.

  1. Hey guys! I'm Ms. Whelan, your enthusiastic student teacher from UNC Charlotte. I know we've just had one class so far, but I'm really excited about working with you all this semester.

    While I've decided to devote my time to teaching and helping students find and meet their full potential, I also have a passion for animals. Hopefully, one day I will be able to work with animal-assisted therapy in the classroom. We'll see...

    For the record, I have read and watched blogs in the past, but writing them is fairly new to me. I have enjoyed reading students blogs and the articles they've found that interest them. I hope you enjoy them too!

  2. Hi there guys! Just a few quick things about me--I am 37 years old, graduated from Penn State in 1993, am a huge Steeler fan and am really excited about the Super Bowl this year! I also have a beautiful new son named Zander who keeps us very busy--he has still not learned to sleep through the night.

  20. Whats up! My name is Tim Hoffner. Some of my friends call me Bocephus, some call me Timmy, but mostly I receive Tim. In May I will turn 17. I should be a junior but I failed my English 2 class in second semester last year. I enjoy acting and playing my trombone. I have a girlfriend who love so much. I call my best friend by his last name all the time. I guess that is why he calls me Bocephus. I've had Mrs. Biondi as a camp leader at UNCC, so I know her a little. If you would like to know I am in fact adopted. Enjoy my blog!
