Blog 9: What will you miss and remember?

Hi students,

This is the final (ungraded) blog.
:( This is very sad, indeed!

Please write responses to the following questions:

1. What will you miss and remember most about each student in this class? You can write a list, if you'd like.

2. What was the funniest, happiest or weirdest thing that happened to you in Writing and Grammar, Level 5 class (if anything)?

3. Do you have any words of wisdom, advice or last comments you would like to write?

I've truly enjoyed teaching each of you this semester!  You are fantastic!

Certainly, I will miss and remember each of you for so many reasons.

My wish for each of you is to feel peace in your mind, love in your heart, and joy throughout all your life!

I look forward to reading your responses!

:) Heather

Blog 8: Giving Names

Hello students!

For this week's blog, I'd like you write 1-2 paragraphs about Giving Names in your country!

• What is the custom or tradition of giving names in your country? Think about who usually names babies, what names are often given, as well as when and how names are given and why naming babies is important (or not).
• Who named you, and what does your name mean (in English and in your language)?
• What are some customary names for boys and girls? What are some unusual names for boys and girls?
• Does your country have nicknames? If so, why? What does your nickname mean (in English and in your language), and why were you given a nickname?
• Have names changed in your country over time? Were some names more popular 100 years ago than today? What names are the most popular in your country today?
• What will you name (or have you already named) your children and why?
• If you could give yourself a new different name, what would it be and why?

I look forward to reading your responses! Remember to comment on at least two other students' posts.
