Hello guys, your assignment for today is to write about an object or place that is important to you.  Include:

• Background
• Physical Description
• Value-why it is so important
• Memories

A great model to emulate would be the description of the gramophone on p. 17. 
Have a super day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Welcome

Good afternoon class,

Welcome to our blog for Contemporary Topics. I will use this format to communicate announcements and assignments, share exercises or prompts, create a public place where your work can be published, and to build community. 

You will use this blog to respond to readings, keep a journal, practice writing, and create a showcase for projects, among other things.

Sincerely, 

Mr. Zeller
