Blog Assignment #5: Accomplishments

It is almost the end of the year (Yeaaahhhhh!). The end of the year is usually a time to reflect about our lives during the past year and what we hope for and expect in the coming year.

For this blog, I would like you to write about two important things you accomplished this year and two important things you want to accomplish in the next year. Please explain why these things are important for you.


Be sure you to make at least three comments on your classmates blogs.

See you in 2014!

Blog Assignment #4: Leadership

I apologize that this assignment is a few days late. However, I still want you to continue writing this week...because good writers need LOTS of practice!

For this week, please make 3 comments on three different classmates' blogs about life without the internet.

Second, please think about and answer the following questions: 1) What qualities or characteristics make a good leader? 2) Are leaders born or made?
