Sept 27- Oct 1

Pick one of the following topics and answer it :) Remember your blog needs to be at least 250 words with correct grammar and punctuation. Please title the individual blogs the same as mine (Sept 27-Oct 1). 

Sept 28
    Confucius was born on this day in 551 B.C. “Confucius” is a translation of his given name, Kung-futzu. He was born in the Shantung Province in Taiwan and was a teacher for more than 40 years before his death at age 72. People all over the world still respect and follow his sayings and teachings. In Taiwan, today is Teachers’ Day in honor of Confucius.
    Describe the “ideal” teacher. What would he or she be like? What would his or her classroom be like? Be serious about this; don’t just write about someone who “doesn’t give homework” or “lets kids do what they want.” 

Sept 30
    This is Ask a Stupid Question Day. And that’s exactly what you should do.
    You’ve probably heard the saying’ “ask a stupid question and you’ll get a stupid answer.” Today, try asking a stupid question and coming up with your own stupid answer. Is there something you’ve been wondering about? Something you don’t understand? Here’s your chance to solve the mystery, once and for all! Be creative.

Blog Instructions

I'm glad you are in my class this year. As part of class you will be writing in your blog every week. You can check the board in class to see the topic assignment or you can come here to my blog to find it. I will enter the dates of the week in the title so that you can easily find the topics by their dates. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me in class. I will not be checking the blog every day so you may want to check for comments from back posts occasionally.

Remember your blogs need to be a minimum of 250 words unless other wise indicatied in the weekly instructions. Correct grammar and punctuation are also expected on every blog.
