Autobiography 50 years from now.

Thursday, December 16, 2010.
Students:
Please post your autobiography here on our class blog.  Remember: you are pretending that it is 50 years into your future.  Please have this assignment done by Wednesday, January 5, 2011.  (You have 3 weeks.)  As always, if you are not able to post it here, then send it to me in an email, and I will post it for you.  When you are done with your autobiography, please write only your first name and last initial.  I can't wait to read what you write!  This is going to be so interesting!!
