Journal Question

Get students to practice their writing online by prompting them with journal questions to respond to. (This is great practice for the new iBT TOEFL, where they will have thirty minutes to type their essay response to a similar style question.)


A useful source for questions is http://iteslj.org/questions/.


"Post a comment" to respond to the following question:

If you suddenly got $10 million, what would you spend it on? Use details to support your response.

I would certainly spend some of it on charity first of all.I would have a new house built, maybe travel around a bit and invest some money for my kids. I don't want to sound unrealistic or idealistic, but money is not everything, especially if it comes in the amounts mentioned in the question.

i'd probably spend some on charity and also help members of my family. it'd be a good idea if some money is invested in building a mosque. the other fascinating idea would be to travel around and enjoy going to places that you've never seen before, after all life is too short!

Well,wish that comes true. Anyway,I will first pay the 1/5 of it for the islamic charities, as it is a must in our religion. Then specify a part of it for my parents,pay my lones, arrange education insurance for my children, change their school into the best, help both my brothers the elder and the younger, help the relatives, oh forgot to change my car, yes i need a decent one and finally return back to my already rented house and enjoy my swimmingpool and luxurios bathroom.
