Welcome to English I! Have you listened to the lyrics in the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield? In the song Natasha sings: "Speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten." This is what I ask of you-no one but you can state what you are thinking or feeling. Your book is still unwritten. Write! Share! Express! Write some more!

Webinar

I attended Bethany's Webinar on "Engaging the Online Learner." This was fantasic! She has so many great ideas on how to get students involved in their own learning. You can still see this as an archived presentation on the RETA website.

There is a webinar coming up using Podcasting in your online classes. I hope to see more of you there!

"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield

Here are the complete lyrics to the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.

Remember-
Speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I love this song because it helps me see how we all have something to say. It also helps me understand that today is a new day with a "blank page" before me. I can write my day, my week, my life to be what I want it to be.

Your words are still unwritten. This is a new day with a blank page before you. What do you see for yourself? Where will you be tomorrow? Next week? In a year? Ten years? Post your reflections here!
