WELCOME TO OUR CLASS...

...where my impressive international students surprise themselves with their masterful writing and very intriguing photographs.

Our classroom building at Yale

WELCOME TO YALE, My Students! 

This 2016 I have the pleasure of welcoming Aurelien, Claire, Katie, Ingrid, Lindsay, Mike, Vera and Yuhe to a feast of reading, writing, blogging and conversation which together we will make cherishable. This morning we met and in a very short time this group managed to create their blogs and begin their first post...a truly promising class!

Cocktail Party - without the cocktails

And though we begin our relationships by keeping our distance, still unsure of each other, it doesn't take long for the "Relentless Interview" to bring us closer together...

A Class is Born

And now we are ready to begin!

Tomorrow we will read one another's "First Impressions", which will soon become the student's first post and the start of their blogging.
And I don't mean to brag, but please let me remind you that all of these students are writing at this impressive level in their second language.....so...without further adieu....

Welcome to their lives, their time together at Yale and their travels.
