Final Blog! #10

 Wow our last blog!!I have learn a lot during this semester. The most important thing that I learned was doing a Ts/Cd. To be honest I hated that idea in the begging.But later on when u kept giving us more assignments i learned to do them Not only I had to do the assignment but I was learning more information. For example I did not know about the miners that had gone stuck.That was very surprising and I learned about that and i kept practicing. Another good thing was learning to to the fill in the space with old information and new information.

I would definitely use this ideas in my papers and I am definitely showing these ideas to my friends.Learning all this information helped me be a better writer and I learned that If I want a better grade on a paper to really give it a long time. Also I've learned to CITE EVERYTHING! 

Thanks for being a great teacher and helping me when I needed help with my essays.Hopefully In the future you can still help me if I have problems with one of my essays.

Essay Four was one of my favorites because we actually got to go out and find an add that we liked.  I found a baby add that was advertising an university. I thought that it was an excellent way to get the attention of students. Because most student dont really pay attention to adds for colleges but this one really caught the eye of me and my sisters.It got me to think of what type of colleges their out there. This whole idea to write about an add was great because it got me to think on how many appeals a add uses.

I would say that I have meet some of these goals. I've understand that when I'm given a knew article I have to first analyze it and then read it out loud. Is better for me if I read a story or article out loud. I understand it better and that's when i see all the errors I've made.Also that I have to give evidence and examples to support my idea.

Also, It can be a good way to write a rough draft before doing the real thing. That can help you get started and not be in a blank when writing the final draft.Also. what its important to not put exclamation points everywhere because someone can get offended.

I think that i have meet some of these goals but I need to keep working on them to get better grades on my essays.

At first finishing up the packet was pretty difficult because going back and remembering awards or activities were hard.The format is pretty easy because you just have to gather all the information together. Looking for references were also pretty hard because i dint know what type of people i had to put down.Well right now I'm almost done.I just have to include a couple of extra details and it should look pretty good.Hopefully i can use this resume in my future job.

Humor is the quality that makes something laughable or amusing.When something really funny happens I laugh and people even think I'm weird. But sometimes I should really keep quiet like if I'm in church or something.Also I really laugh when i shouldn't  laugh because sometimes I laugh when someone gets hurt.I feel bad but i still laugh. I cant help it. I really dint think that the article was funny because I kinda feel bad for the guy.

Style is the way in which something is said, done, expressed, or performed.
I always try to have a good style on my papers and try to express it very well.I also like reading articles and seeing how they do their styles.I like to read articles or stories that have a nice style.If in not interested by tyhe first sentences I usually stop reading.

 For me doing essay 3 was not  as difficult as doing essay 2. I found it easier and i actually enjoyed it.I got to learn more about two different things and i like it than essay 2 were i had to read more than tree essays. Its easier because i don't have to keep track of a lot of information and the assignment actually looks shorter.At first when we are given the assignment i get nervous because on the handout it says we  are required to do at leas 1000 words.So i try to keep in mind to get a lot of information and not think about that i have to write a lot of words.That can really mess me up.Sometimes when i think about it i keep delaying the assignment and do it later because since it too much work i want to do it later. So i should just get it over and do it.

Some of the readings are hard.But for this particular one it wasn't that difficult for me.Especially when i only had to read a couple this time.To write the structure is was very easy because i dint have to put both stories together.I separated both stories and it was easier for me.Their are two hard points for me to do.First the begging is difficult when you have to do the intro.The other hard part is doing the works cited page.I try to always correct them and do better when i get my grade back.I want to succeed doing this because as you said it is very handy to know how to do in all your papers .

In class our assignment was to read three articles and for me personally it was very difficult.First we had to read like five articles and see which three had something in common. For me trying to decide was very hard.I even had to read each story twice.After like two hour I finally came up with my three articles.Then trying to cite all the information was also pretty difficult. But at the same timer I enjoy doing this because every time I get to challenge myself and see if I can improve for my next essay.

Another big issue that I thing I have is how to do the Works Cite page.We have gone threw it in class but when I'm writing my essay I forget it.I tried using the book and using Owl but actually Owl is so confusing to me. I even ask for help with my older sisters and they even get Owl confusing.For this essay I don't think I used TS/CD because I already had plenty of information. I actually used is on my forth essay.Every time that I'm short on words I allays try to use that technique.This technique has helped me not only in my essays but also in other assignments that we get in class. I can truly that I will be using this idea in all of my papers. Not only for this class but for the rest of my life.
