New school year 2011!

Welcome to Essay Writing class 2011! I hope you had some time to relax during the spring break, but as we all know, it's been an unusual time in Japan, to say the least. I hope your family members are all safe. We will keep a close watch on the news of the nuclear reactor in this class, but hopefully that situation will be resolved soon, too.

Let's take a moment to write a comment about our thoughts on the disaster in the comment box below. If you like, you can talk about what you were doing when the disaster struck. You may also reflect on the condition of the victims and perhaps recommend some measures we can take to help them.
