Hello guys! For your second homework, I will ask you to do 2 things.
1st: Check the link below, search for the meaning of your name, and either copy down or print it. Next day we are going to compare some of your findings.

2nd: As preparation for your 1st class project, lets do some net research: search the web for a famous person that has the same name as you and write a short bibliography in paragraph form that contains at least the following information:
Full Name, Date of Birth/Death, Place of Birth, Famous For... plus any other info you like to include.
Short Example: Doing a quick Google search, as my famous person I found Vlad Tepes for Vladimir. Then, I wrotea short biography in paragraph form:
Vlad Tepes (1431-1476) was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania (now part of Rumania). He was the Prince of Wallachia and a military leader. He was infamous for the extreme cruelty of his torture methods.
Centuries later, his deeds would inspire Bram Stoker to create the character Count Dracula for the novel of the same name.
I expect you to write at least two times as much as in the example. Please, don't just copy and paste the information since I will ask some questions about your homework. If you have any questions or doubts regarding the homework, you can either leave me a comment or send me an e-mail.
