Working with Pewitt Junior High in Omaha, Texas

We are beginning our collaborative project with our partners from Pewitt Junior High in Omaha, Texas. We have assigned our groups, and today we will begin communicating with our partners from Omaha, Texas. You have been assigned a partner (or two in a few cases) and will begin introducing yourself. First write a brief introduction on your blog post and then copy it in an e-mail to your partners.

You can also visit our collaborative project to see which partners you will be working with.

Remember to avoid writing personal information. Just put your first name, and don't tell your birthday (though the month is okay). Tell about your hobbies and favorite things --what books, music, movies you like, as well as general information about where you are from, where you have lived, what pets you have, and other information that might be of interest.

Once your blog post has been completed and approved, then copy your post into an e-mail to your partners. Include a link (the URL) to your blog if your partner wants to investigate more about you.

Your Life in 2020

In the year 2020, many of you will be just finishing University. You will be 22 or 23 years old, probably. You may be deciding what career path you will follow. Think about your life in the year 2020 and write a fun story telling about how you communicate with your friends, how you conduct business -- buying or selling things and completing transactions. What will you do for fun?

Write some of your ideas in a post on your blog.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back from winter holiday. Hopefully everyone had a great time. We'll be anxious to share highlights of our travels, as well as begin working on the new year.

For today, you will add a blog post about your holiday experiences, as well as make sure your blog has a link back to this page.

Good luck!
