1. Describe yourself and the place where you live. Where do you go to school? What are your hobbies and interests?
2. What are your future goals and aspirations? Identify some places you would like to travel and why you would like to go there. What are some things you like to do or accomplish in your life?
You are to share them with me, and I will read both of them and provide some feedback and suggestions. Then you will write a revised introduction that combines the content from your two separate introductions and share them with our new friends at Lycee Regnault in Tangier, Morocco. Your introductions should be about 150 words in length. Please use complete sentences and conventional grammar and spelling.
Steps to complete this assignment:
1. Complete the introductions assignment on Google Drive and share it with Mr. Hertz.
2. Read his comments and revise your introduction accordingly.
3. Have a friend read your revised introduction. They should provide you with feedback and then you will revise your introduction again.
4. When you feel your introduction is ready, show it to an instructor (Hertz, Patton, Sahlberg, etc.) and get a final OK.
5. Post it to the Blog as a comment on this introductions page.
Have fun!

Hey, my name is Rachel Katalin Grossman, I am 15 turning 16 November 30. I am a sophomore at Six Rivers Charter High School, it is the best school ever. I live in Arcata CA. It is a strange place because you see fog 50% of the time. You see a lot of redwood trees in Humboldt. I am a small petite girl with brown hair and brown eyes and I actually was adopted from Romania when I was three.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up I want to be a lot of things like an actress and a photographer. I want to adopt a child when I grow up so I can help the orphans. I want to go everywhere around the world and explore. I love being in nature because that is where i go when i just want to be alone. My family and I traveled to Thailand to visit my foreign exchange student, we were there for two weeks for Christmas break.
It is really nice to meet you I can't wait to meet you!:)
ReplyDeleteHey, my name is Hope, I'm 15 and live in Arcata, California, its very nice to meet all of you. At the moment I'm very angry with papa smurf ( a.k.a. my teacher Mr. Hertz) for making me write about myself. I enjoy cold, gloomy and rainy weather as well as a good scary movie. I hate the ocean, I'm terrified of snakes, and horses. My hopes are to one day become a train conductor in the Pacific Northwest, or in New England, and to own an apple orchard, with animals and a seasonal pumpkin patch. Arcata,California is a small college town nestled in the redwoods of the Pacific Northwest.

I would like to provide for my family by giving them a nice house with a nice car and food always on the table. it would be cool to hear from you
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Emily and it’s nice to meet you. I like to read books and I like to do math -- not really. I like typing in repetitive sentences. I hate talking about myself; incredibly so. My family and I live in Humboldt county, just like every single other kid your class is blogging with. I am a sophomore and, once again, so is everyone else in my class. I love Moroccan mint tea, so that’s something, though I suppose if you tried it, you would find the name ridiculous. I also like swimming and hope to get a scholarship, go to college, et cetera. I am learning French. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteTomas’ Introduction
Hello I am very excited to talk to you. I am a 15-year-old named Tomas Nara Shermer. I am 5’11’’ in height and like to play sports. I like to wrestle, play baseball, and fire airsoft guns. I have done some airsoft battles in the Redwood Forest woods that have lasted up to a couple hours at a time. I hope to make the varsity baseball team this year and not get my but kicked in wrestling. I also hope to be a professional baseball player in the MLB (major league baseball) someday. Baseball is the one sport I love the most. I live in McKinleyville, California on the coast of the Pacific Ocean where there is hardly any pollution, and I live a couple minutes away from the ocean. Normally at this time of year my brothers are playing soccer during the weekends and all I am doing is sleeping on my bed and listening to music on my iPod. Next year i will be going, sort of near you, to Italy for a week with my choir. I really want to go on a cruise someday in my life too.
My name’s Elena Ziegler, and I live in Arcata, which is a small college town on the coast of Northern California in Humboldt County. I have brown slightly wavy hair, hazel eyes, smooth tan skin, freckles, dimples, and am about five and a half feet tall. I have long legs, and am around the average weight for a teenage American girl, if not a little less. In my freetime I like to take pictures of bands/concerts, people, animals, and nature, along with making necklaces, and small pieces of jewelry. In the future I would like to be a photographer for a magazine like Rolling Stone or National Geographic. I would also like to own my own photography company. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Zach Corgiat-Raymond. I like to play sports such as soccer, basketball, and baseball. I also like to watch TV and hang out with my friends. I don’t really ever travel, I have only been to a few states in our country. I live in the small city of Arcata on the north coast of California. The weather never the same--it changes from rain to sun to fog and them back to rain again. I am white with straight dirty blonde hair and I am pretty skinny. I have bluish grey eyes. I am a pretty calm person. If you're a chill person than we would probably get along. Someday I hope to play soccer in college and then go on from there. Another one of my hopes is to go to a nice college like University of Nevada, Reno or University of California, Santa Barbara. I dream to one day play on a professional soccer club I would even settle for MLS. I would like to travel around Europe like Germany, Scotland, or Ireland. Europe just seems like a beautiful place where industries haven't completely taken over. That is what I would like to do with my free time in the future.

Hello! my name is Kash Whitlow. I am a male that is 15 years old. I live in a fishing town called Trinidad on the coast of California, about 20 minutes north of Arcata. In the town of Trinidad there is a large forest full of tall redwood trees. I also live about 15 minutes away from the beach but the water is always very cold. Some things that I enjoy doing are Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, and I wrestle for Arcata high school. I also enjoy mixing and producing EDM music.
ReplyDeleteSome things I would like to do with my life are go to a good college and be successfully producing music. If that does not work out I will probably search for a job or take on my Dads job of being a salesman at the company Thule. I would like to go to a nice University for college. I am considering our local college of Humboldt State but I am still unsure at this time in my life.
I am excited to hear back from you!
My name is Parisa Ghaffari. I was born in 1995 in Iran, Tehran. I moved to United State in fall 2011. My plan is that going to the college and studying in medical science. I don’t know English very well so I made a decision that first I go to junior college to improve my English then I will go to university to continue my education. My first language is Persian. English is completely different from Persian whether in vocabulary and grammar, so I’m trying to improve it by writing and reading.
ReplyDeleteHello . My name is leonor Cazal. Today ,I am "the voice" of the class . We read all of your messages,and we loved them! We realy liked the papa smurf message, because well.. It's realy funny! Why do you call him like that ? :) Also, we think that your messages were interesting! We liked the fact that some of you have alredy their whole life planned. Like the fact of adopting a baby, I think it's very nice of you. Emily, the mint tea is called "narnar" . In Tangier, it's realy sugared but it's nice. Once, the spoon stayed stucked in the glass, because it was like caramel! Parisa, in your message, you said that you don't speak english very well, but we think you write very good. Personally, I really appreciated the wizzard letter, because I really like magic tricks :). Kash, (is it a nickname?) we all think, to be a good producting music, you have to found a good singer! Does some of you like to sing? Here, all the girls love to sing and sing very well! Bye, XX
