Happy Thanksgiving (a week early)

Dear class,

Today I want to have you do 2 things.

(1) Please put your process (how-to) essay on your blog. This is the essay I returned to you on Wednesday.

(2) Thanksgiving is a time in the U.S. that we stop and think about things we are thankful for. Please write about 150 words telling what you are thankful for in your life.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving vacation!

Amy

Please type this in Microsoft Word so you can check your spelling and grammar. I will count off points if you have spelling and grammar mistakes and you didn't use MS Word.

What is your dream job? Please use reasons and details to support your response. Also, please include information if you have previous work experience. What did you like about your job(s)? What did you not like?
