Good morning 3rd hour learners

Hello dear learners,

I apologize for my absence on Friday and hope that you were able to proceed with your Flickr project. Some of you have found that Photobucket might work best for you and if you would like to use that tool than that is fine. I believe that an appropriate due date for the Tourism Project would be this Thursday. I believe that this takes into account my absence and any mis-starts you may have experienced due to computer issues. Please know that I would like you to blog each day. If you would like a topic in particular I can begin to provide one for each day. So, your topic for today is manners. At the recent Obama speech, the congressman from South Carolina shouted, "You lie!". Since then, he has raised more than 2 million dollars for his next campaign, even though such conduct is strictly forbidden. At last week's VMA's, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. He has been widely criticized for that mood. What do you think about such behavior? Do you more often than not see people acting in polite respectful ways or do you find that people are rude and unkind? Where do you think this comes from and why?

So, again, I know this forum isn't ideal in that I have another class I am tending to. I appreciate and honor the challenges that come with working independently. At the same time, I know and believe that you are capable of good work without my constant supervision. Please know that in order for me to issue a credit for this term, you will need to have achieved a certain amount of English related work. Thanks for your understanding and attention to your learning.

Questions? Post a comment to my blog:)
