If you cannot think of enough (or anything) to write, consider the following questions to help you (or to stimulate your thoughts) to write your paragraph(s):  Why was it a good thing for this man to voluntarily deliver the babies of this dead shark?  Explain.  What would happen to the babies if he didn't do this?  Explain.  Do you think all three babies will survive after being released into the ocean or do you think this man's efforts are wasted?  Explain.  Did the man do a good job of delivering the babies?  Explain.  How did you think this man recognized the dead shark was pregnant?  What do you think is the educational background and working background of this man, from what you observed and surmised from this video?  Explain from the "evidence" in this video how you came to your speculation.  In your paragraph(s), respond to any of these questions and explain.

“Something was very different that day… the impossible happened… It was the moment that made everything else possible.”

 https://kbam.kingsborough.edu/reset/

If this also does not work, then go (in person) to the Student Help Desk (of the I.T. Department).  The location is listed at - https://kbam.kingsborough.edu/faq/

If You Don't Know Your Kingsborough Email Access Info

This is for students of Kingsborough Community College only.  If you have forgotten your email log-in information or if you have never gotten your email account information, follow the steps below:

1.  Go to https://kbam.kingsborough.edu/lookup/
2.  Type in the requested information and click “submit”.  (It’s pretty much self-explanatory on this page.  Your email access information will be provided to you.)

If this does not work, see Password Reset Instructions at http://cunyenglish.blogspot.com/2014/05/resetting-your-kingsborough-email.html



I am posting this because of my experience working with students individually where they have their work saved in their email (or sent their email), but they had trouble accessing their email.  As a result, half the session is wasted dealing with the technical issue of accessing their email.
