Reflection Assignment/Question:

Please write one short paragraph explaining important information about yourself (don’t use your last name). Then write a second short paragraph explaining why you have chosen to specialize in your your specific media content area.

Response:

Hello and welcome to my Blog. My name is Mr. Himowitz, and I’m an eighth grade teacher at CIS 339 in South Bronx. I teach reading and writing, and I love to work technology into my lessons. I am originally from Baltimore, MD, but now I live in Brooklyn and teach in the Bronx. My favorite color is blue, and I dislike olives.

I chose to specialize in music and movies because I find both of those topics fascinating. My favorite music group is Dipset, and my favorite filmmaker is Ron Howard. I like movies because I think they can tackle complex themes in ways not possible in books, and I like music because I like to dance.

I just want to see if this works. I'm typing from my iPod.
