Who are you?

Welcome ESL students!!!

Today, you are going to introduce yourselves to me and to your other classmates!!!!

Please respond to this post by answering the following questions through the blog.  Then use those answers to write a paragraph introducing yourselves.  Your paragraph should look something like the I have written below:

   My name is Jaime Porras, but my students call me Mr. Porras.  I teach 9th grade English and Reading at Animo Pat Brown Charter High School.  I have been a teacher for 3 years and I really enjoy working with students.  I live in Hollywood, California very close to Hollywood Boulevard.  I like living out here because the weather is very nice and because I like to go to the beach on the weekends.  I also like living in Los Angeles because of all the different types of people.  I am originally from the state of Ohio.  My parents are from Texas and my family is Mexican American.  I don't speak Spanish very well but my parents speak it perfectly.  I am trying to get better at Spanish just like you students are trying to get better at English.   I can't wait to read your descriptions of yourselves!!!!!!   


Please answer the following questions by copying them and pasting them into a blog response.    Good Luck and ask for help if you need it.
