Welcome to the Winter session of Biology. To begin our class and become comfortable with using Weebly I am going to have you make introductions. Please include the following information in your introduction:
a. What is your name? b. Why are you taking this course? c. Information you find interesting about yourself and want to share. d. If you were a super hero, what would be your super power? Why would you want to have this power? Also, what would your name be? Post by initial response by Friday and then respond to each classmate.

Extrophile, because I could go to extreme environments and live.

My name is Samantha, I am taking this course because the biology class I took before didn't count as a "lab" credit towards the college I am going to. I don't really find myself or anything about me interesting, but I guess if I was going to share anything about me it would be that I'm very social. If I was a super hero, my name would be SuperSam. I would have the ability to make everyone happy and fix anyone's financial situations. I would want this power because I love when people are happy and I know money is a struggle for many of us in this world.

Welcome to class. I am sure there is much more that is interesting about you other than you are social but that is a skill that not everyone has. I think it is a very helpful one.

Hello, my name is Nathaniel Moore, but I rather be called Nate. I'm taking this course because when I moved from the New market High School to Oyster River, the Biology class was with freshman instead of sophomores. So instead of taking the class with the class below me, I had to take it with call twice below. Made it almost impossible to concentrate and the teacher didn't do much to keep them down. Now for something interesting. I guess I can say i'm plainly just a happy guy. I mean I've been having issues recently, but if you see me in a bad mood then something really bad must have happened. If I had the option to have a single super power I guess I would go with the ability to switch powers to my choosing. They would call me... Atom!

I can see how it would be challenging to concentrate when in a class with those that are loud or acting out. I don't think you will have that issue here. I didn't think of the power to change to another power, how awesome would that be.

Hi. My name is Rachel. I am taking this class because I need to have high school Biology for a program I want to get into and I never did more than a few months of ninth grade. I got my GED/High Set in January last year. I love music and books and playing card games with my friends. I work full time in a medical front office and decided to go back to school to have a more specialized job. I'm dreading the super hero / power question. I would like the power to make people smile or laugh. I love to pay compliments to people I don't even know just to make a bright spot in their day. Call me Friendly.

You should be really proud of yourself for taking the risk of going back to school. That is a hard decision and required a real change in how you do your life. It sounds like you and Sam would like to have similar powers.

My name is sean. I'm taking this course because I had a concussion this football season and I missed 8 weeks of school. so I dropped the bio course I was in and am taking it now. I'm also super bad at remembering things that's why I'm doing this Sunday night instead of Friday. If I was a super hero I would have the power to read and talk to people through their minds because that's pretty sweet. Id be called ';/."-+ because no one would be able to say my name and they would be so confused I think id die laughing while reading their minds.

I love it, you have a warped sense of humor. Keeping track of deadlines is really important in this class because homework can not be passed in late so you will want to figure out a system that works for you.
