I am only going to post one example update, so I don't influence what you guys write too much. I will post the rest after I look through your posts.
Robert Walton OMG!!! Just saw an eight foot tall man on a dog sled. Yup, it is going to be another weird day stuck in the ice.

Vocabulary Quiz Score
Ms. Witham scored 100% on the vocab quiz. Then again, she did write it, so I would hope she scored 100%
My Dream Adventure
If I could go on any adventure of my choosing, I would take a round the world tour of all the major cities around the world. I love to travel, but have not gotten to do a great deal of traveling. I am very interested in different cultures and customs, meeting new people, and trying new foods! Many travel companies and airlines already have options for going on round the world tours, but I would want to take my time and see everything! Like Walton in Frankenstein, I would hope to meet interesting people like the man who let his fiance marry her true love and keep the house her father bought him for their wedding present. It would be a wild trip.
I would definitely bring a camera, maybe a video camera, and either a computer (for blogging) or a journal so I could jot down my thoughts as I went on my travels. I would want to document how I felt and try to detail the things I saw on my trip to keep as a momento after I returned. I would send postcards and letters to my family, my best friends, and my roommates, and hopefully I would be able to receive mail as well. Lastly, I would try to collect little trinkets from each city I visited as a way of remembering where I had been.
What an amazing experience this would be! Maybe someday....

Welcome!
Hello Contract English students!
Hopefully, you have completed, or are in the process of making, your blogs. Once you are done, e-mail the link to your blog to me at allison.witham@gmail.com
You can reference my blog for examples of how to complete blog assignments. Remember for all assignments, directions, and references, refer back to our class website- www.withamsutherland.weebly.com When in doubt, visit the website or e-mail me.
For your posts, unless otherwise stated, I am expecting 2-3 paragraphs per post. Some assignments will ask you to go in depth, others will be short and sweet. Just make sure you read the directions to receive full credit. What is super cool about blogging is that if you want to reference something, you can just embed the video, picture, etc., or post the link for everyone to see first hand. For example, if I wanted to share a website I found with important quotations from Frankenstein I can link you to it here. Be as creative as you like!
I will read and grade ALL of your blogs, and try to comment on your posts. This should be a fun way to engage with an amazing text!
Happy Blogging!
