Students,

Answer the following questions in 2-5 paragraphs (approximately 5 sentences per paragraph), and post it on your blog. You may write more if you so choose. I will be checking for spelling and grammar in this post, so write as though you are writing a paper to be turned in for your English class. If you are not sure how to spell a word, look the word up using the dictionary reference site. Make sure to read the definition so that you are sure that is what you want to say.

Who would you most like to meet, they can be living or dead? Why would you like to meet them? What questions would you ask them and Why? How do you think they might respond?(You are more than welcome to look them up to, in order to get an idea of how they would respond, there is a resource section at the bottom of this blog to help you.) What do you think the impact of this conversation would be on you?

If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask, and you may also comment by clicking the comments tab at the bottom of this posting.
