Welcome to English 95! Day 1 Homework!

Good work! You found the blog! 


For your first homework assignment, please copy and paste the following questionnaire into a word document, and then answer each in complete sentences. If there is anything you want me to pay special attention to, please put it in bold or underline it. Please be sure to use proper MLA format; see the syllabus for information and an example.


This questionnaire will help me learn a little about who you are and what you expect to get out of this class. It will not be shared with anyone but me.
