When you finish with Microsoft Word, copy and paste into your blog.
You must have these done by the end of the period. We need these definitions for Tuesday. Turn in your sheet - with your name on it - to Mr. Miller or Miss Miers.

B. Write about one of these topics in a 4 paragraph essay in your blog:

• Describe one of your grandparents. What has he/she accomplished in life? Would you like to be like him/her?
• How would your friends characterize you? Look at yourself from the side of other people and analyze your character in such a way.
• Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would do anything to get it? How did you feel after you received or attained the thing that you desired? Did it make your life happier or more miserable? Tell about such an experience.
