Mr. G's Summer


I spent the first half of the summer on a Staycation in SF.  In July I went to New Mexico to visit a friend and mostly spent time being a tourist in Albuquerque going to museums and art galleries and I also did some camping and checked out the amazing natural landscapes.  I then went to the East Coast for 3 weeks to visit my family.  I spent a lot of time with my little nieces and nephew and I also attended my cousin’s wedding.  I also spent 5 days in New York City for the first time and went to many tourist attractions and including art museums, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center Memorial.

Welcome to the Class Blog!


I am so glad all of you are in this class!  We are going to have fun sharing some of our work throughout this year!  Ground Rules for this Blog: 1) No inappropriate language please (i.e.: swear words, vulgarity, etc.), 2) You must make posts and comments using proper English and grammar.  Yes, we are practicing so that we will get better at using it for professional writing, so this means no texting abbreviations allowed here, or slang words please, 3) Be kind in the wording of your comments that you leave for others, and if you are going to offer someone criticism about their work, first let them know something that you did like about their work.

Be clever.  Be creative. Be honest (yet sensitive to others).  Be you!
