Task

 * Compose a paragraph in which you give information about yourself -- little known facts, hobbies, sports, likes/dislikes, funny memories, first job, etc., OR a paragraph in which you give your opinion about a popular movie, song, book, sports team, etc.
 * Add a widget to your wikispace by clicking on the T.V. icon on the floating toolbar at the top of the page. Select "video" from the left-hand side menu. Click on the link to YouTube and search for a video related to something you mentioned in your paragraph. Copy the embed link (NOT the URL) and paste it into the box on your wikispace.
