First assignment!

Your first assignment is to write an introduction to your blog. Write about yourself as a reader and writer. What type of English student are you? What will someone who follows your blog expect to see? How will you enlighten the on-line world with your reaction to the literature studied in class? Remember, English is reading, writing, and communication. Attempt to answer the question: what is the meaning of English class? Why is English a four-year requirement for college bound students? How will excelling in English help you become a successful person, both personally and academically?

Address the above questions, some or all, in several paragraphs in a way that introduces your blog your audience: your teacher and your classmates.

English. This seven letter word embodies the subjects of so many things I do in my life. Every day I do something that relates to what is being taught in english class, whether its school work, texting, reading about an atom's structure or simply talking about a movie with my friends. Those who are following my blog should know that I do not see myself as a very creative writer, but I enjoy writing about specific interesting topics. I think it will be quite fun to be completing assignments online for others to see our opinions and thoughts on the topics we will be descussing in class.

English class is the base, the solid foundation, of all education. Every grade, every class, every job anywhere requires some form of reading, writing and comunication. It is very important for one to be able to write about any topic for many reasons.  These reasons could include a resume for an interview, loan applications, love letters, the draftng of contracts, answering the telephone and many more. English is not something that one can run away from, for it surrounds a person throughought all of their life.  The purpose of english class is to prepare one for life beyond high school.  That is why english is a four year requirement for college.

Though english may not be my favorite subject in school, it will inevitably be a huge part of the rest of my life. I feel I will become a much better creative writer after this year which will help with future classes and most likely whatever career I end up choosing.  Good english skills will not only pertain to school and work but also personal aspects of my life such as writing a letter using correct spelling and grammar rules. All things considered I will enjoy being in an honor english class this year and I am excited to see what it will bring to my life and writing later on.
