Week 2

I think everyone was able to get connected. I enjoyed reading your introduction paragraphs. You have a variety of interests and backgrounds. Before you came to the United States, you probably had some impressions of Americans from the movies or from things you had read or heard. Now that you live here, write a paragraph about one or two things that have surprised you. These would be things that are different from what you had expected.

Week 1

Let me know that you are connected. I would enjoy hearing about your plans for the future and how improving your English writing will help you in the future. I'll post one question a week for you to respond to. Remember this is an academic writing class, so please consider your format and grammar when you respond. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you. Laura
