Week 3 Question
Hi!
I enjoyed reading your responses to the week 1 question. Please go back and read what your classmates wrote and the reply comments that I left for each student's response.
This week's question is sure to generate a variety of perspectives on a controversial topic that affects everyone on campus. Oyatullokhi wants to know your opinion on the following question:
Why do people smoke while they know it is very unhealthy?
Good question Oyatullokhi!
Please write as much as you can on this interesting topic. The more you write, the more interesting it will be for me and your classmates to read your response.
Happy writing!
Josh

Week 2 Question
Hi!
I hope you've made it this far. If so, welcome to the Spring 2012 Writing and Grammar 5 blog. On this blog, you will write about various topics and read about what other students have to say about these topics. More than anything, I'd like our blog to provide a forum for you to express your ideas and opinions. Therefore, it is important that you spend some time thinking about and writing your response. The more you write, the more interesting your response will be for me and the other students to read! At the same time, don't worry too much about having perfect grammar. The important thing is that you express your ideas fully (with enough information to understand what you want to say) and clearly (in a way everyone who reads it can understand).
For our warm-up question, I'd like you to write about your goals for this class. More specifically, what are 3 personal goals that you have for Writing and Grammar 5 this semester. These goals can be quite specific or more general. Please explain why each goal is important.
Thanks for writing. I look forward to reading your responses.
Josh
