**Reminder: No class on Monday, July 2**
For Wednesday, July 4, please write the middle paragraph which would follow the introduction I wrote on the board today in class. The introduction is posted on our class website: Class Notes . You may use the information from the New York Times article handed out today in class but use your own words. Bring this paragraph to class on Wednesday.
Please research your topic for the mini-lessons and put the rules and sample sentences on your transparency. Two groups will teach the class on Wednesday: Group One (Kevin, Derek, Peter and Boris) on "Subject-Verb Agreement", and Group Two (Jared, Mike and Edward) on "Prepositions".

They call me Hitch. I help normal guys like you to get with girls like..well who ever you want. They some times call me the love doctor but I don't go by that, its simply Hitch. This time, I need your help to get with this girl. This girl who makes me be young again. I am throwing my best work
out there but she hiding something. Well, that 'something', it doesn't really matter because all it is going to take is your help, to be with her.
It is exactly two years ago from today, she and I buried a time capsule here, under a tree. We promised to meet here two years later, but she has not come yet. It is our only day to meet. No one knows when she will come, but I’m going to wait. During two years, I couldn't endure the loneliness after we broke up. Thinking of those memories, I started to write about our stories on the Internet. Then I made up my mind. If I meet her again, I'll show her a different me. I got to make use of my time for her and my future's sake. I wrote our stories on the Internet everyday, and I kept myself busy for two years. From the story, my advice for you is building a bridge of chance for someone you love.
They call me "Spider men". I help the city of New York to prevent any kind of crime. They some times call me the savior but I don't want the game, because I am just a normal person with some superpower.I don't want people over popularize me;because, I love to defeat criminal but I don't want to let me people down. Therefore, I prefer the people to just call me "Spider men" instead of savior.
Hi, I am Joel Barish. My relationship with her becomes gradually isolated. As a wild and reckless person, she sometimes bothers me so much. Now, every time we see each other, we cannot stop debating. She often does not even remember us being together so I am totally frustrated. I am frustrated because I cannot get rid of this person in my mind. I just want her to be erased from my memory so that I can live my life more free and happily. I am told that there is a place that can helps people to erase their sad memory. I will catch this chance and forget the sad moment being with her forever, along with the sweet time and passionate moments…………(Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind)
Blog Question.
Choose your favorite movie (or another movie) and write a paragraph as if you were a character in the movie. Have the character tell us what he/she wants and why. Be sure to use the character’s voice.
Answer.
I continue the line of the previous blog question about introducing the movie. Among other two I introduced “Goodfellas” by Martin Scorcese with the narrative or monologs of the main hero Henry Hill starting “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." No, all his words are already published; he said everything he could, and I need to find another hero who did not.
There is a film that did not see the world, having been actually lost, and its hero still continues his steps. This is my film made 13 years ago by home camera. After opening by music of Yuri Loza I started imitating Boris Paramonov: “Начинаем передачу из Харькова. У микрофона Борис Гарбузов” that means “We are starting broadcast from Kharkov. The microphone is held by Boris Garbuzov”. With my friend Sergei Inozemtsev we depicted ourselves presenting development of our creative natures. The earliest cultural influence I remembered was re-telling joking poems and fairy stories in the kindergarten. Then art school, student poems. It was a time of freedom broken into the staled world of communist USSR. Time of reconstruction, abyss of unknown. I remember my violet tea short on the screen and my eyes traveling around and not addressing the camera.
Now that hero made his way through immigration, divorce, publishing in “PriVan” magazine, reading Limonov and Casanova, ballroom dance competitions, quitting technical job and re-entering university. And he has reasons to repeat: “I do not want to be a student of somebody else’s sciences. God, let me open the doors!”

If i were a charater in "The day after tommorow" i would tell my audience not to pollute our air and protect our environment. I will show them the diaster that would happen if we dont protect our earth. The world is like ourself, if we dont protect, it will be destroyed.
Hey…I am Michael Newman. I had a nightmare when I fell asleep on the bed in a furniture store. In the horrible dream, I incidentally got a remote controller, which looked exactly the same as the other ones. The strangest thing was that the seemingly regular remote can stop, fast forward, or even rewind my life. Since then, I could skip anything I did not like in my life, such as traffic jam, sickness, and time for my promotion. However, when I eventually got promotion by skipping lots of time in my life, I also let the time I could spend with my family elapse through my fingers. I utterly regretted about what I did when I realized I could rewind the time but I can fix what I had done. Fortunately, that was just a dream. I woke up and ran back home and promise my family and myself that I will never have this kind of nightmare come true in the reality.
