Diference between the two emails

My first email was just how I felt. I was voicing my opinion to a friend that I was angry about the grade I recieved. It was not as formal as the email that I had to write my teacher. The email to my teacher was very polite and respectful so she might improve my grade. My friend email was just me complaing about the grade and not trying to do nything about it. I took alot more time and effort into my email to my teacher. I had to go through many steps in order to finish my paper. When writing my blog it is like a draft that you write and never go back to. I worked to make my paper to make the paper the best of my ability. I wrote my blog because I have to get the grade. The length of my paper to my teacher was longer then my email to my friend. I had to write serveral paragraphs and construct a good paper to turn in for a good grade. The email to my friend was my own voice and how I felt. I could go off and vent and say what I wanted to say and it did not matter. My teachers email was my voice but I could not express how I truely felt. I had to be polite in order for her to change my grade. I had to be convincing so she would help me pass. The email I sent to my teacher are the emails are the format I will send professinals for the rest of my life. I am glad we had to do this assignment so I know how to handle myslef when i do have to send a email in the future.

Writing Workshop

I really did not like the writing workshop at all. I feel very unconfrtable reading my paper to my peers. Everybody got destracted and stop listening to the paper or talked while the person was reading. Therefore there really was not very good feed back for me to improve m paper. We really did not help anyone to answer the question the had to but on there paper so they can improve there email. It was also they same feed back to everyone. We just kept repeating the same thing for example you need to add more details inorder to make your paper longer. I feel that the groups did not help me improve at all. I like that we have to go to the writing center because that helped me alot. They went through my entire paper and helped me with every little detail. I know what I should do for m next paper in the future. I also liked how miss crawford walked around during groups and helped you individually if you had personal questons. I really did not understand why we had to talk about our progress out loud in front of the class. I also did not like the unique questions. All of my questions were answered and I really did not have any when i walked into class that day. It was hard for me to come up with a question that i really didnt need answered. I liked how we had many different writing workshops that were suppose to help us but not all of them worked.

online dating

I have never argeed with online dating. I think it is very unpersonal. People always lie on there profile so you do not really no the person you are suppose to be getting to know. Then When you meet them you have no idea who they are or there background. Online dating sites should run background cheeks but you can also never believe if they did that. therefore they can avoid any problems that can come someones way. I like the dating websites that do not have pictures. You get to know the person for who they are and not what they look like. Being attracted to them physically is impotant. I always believe that being in love with the person for who they are and not what they look like. I think you should get to know them and then sent them a picture after you have been talking for a while. If I ever used an online dating site I would use a big dating site for example eharmony. The biger sites would make me feel more confortable. They would seem to be more organized and know what they are doing. I also think online dating makes you loose your personal feeling with everyone else. You do not know how to talk to other people. You will always depend on electronic devices to talk to people. Then also you would be glued to the computer so you can talk to the person. I understand that dating websites have helped some people find there special some. I just want to go out and meet my special person.

The Good and Bad of todays class

Writing is one of my hardest struggles in school. I have always struggled in this area ever since i wrote my first essay. It also doesnt help that all of my teachers pretty much held my hand and walked me through the process each year. Everytime that i have to read someones paper I think I always give bad advice because I am not a strong writer myself. I always get nervous as well when someone reads my paper I think they are going to laugh and make fun of me. I mostly like group work but not when my paper is involved. The worst part about today is that I didnt even no where to start on my paper. I always have trouble with the opening part. When it was time to get into our groups I had barely anything on my paper because I didnt know where to start.

The good part is that I am finally getting confortable with everyone in my class. I feel that I can trust them to act muture enought to read my paper and only make comments to help me better my paper. I like when people do help you with my paper because my writing starts to flow a little better. I always need someones feed back to help me with the spelling I missed or the punctation that I did wrong. I liked the postive feed back as well what was good about my paper. It makes my attitude go up about writing. I feel like I am improving and starting to get a grasp on it. I also like when more then one person reads my paper so I can have a lot of feed back not just one persons. I no that I have to get over my fear of writing and letting people read my paper. It is a very slow process but it is finally coming along.

In class Discussion (articles day 2)

I believe that every kid should be introduced to techniology at a very young age. It is important to know what it is going on in the world at a younger age. Technology is a key thing in people lives and everyone uses it on a daily bases. I was introduced to computers at a very young age and that really helped me through out my educational career. You go out into the world today and hardly see anyone not using some kind of technology. You can barely find a job without knowing how to use the basics of the computer. I realoze that some families live in poverty and really cant afford to have a computer in there home. Schools have been given many computers so that children can learn how to use them. Parenst really need to go out and strive for the children to learn. They need to prepare for there future now because it comes really fast. Technology has taken over are lives but everyone needs to know how to use it.

I have to strongly disagree with the universities that give away iphones or computers to there Freshman that attend there school. The article showed the postives and the negatives. I am really big on the negatives. I think it is a really lazy way for the teachers not being able to teach and they also loose that one on one feeling. If your iphone breaks then you fall behind in school which that shouldnt have to happen. You can get easily destracted in class by playing games or getting on other internet sites. On top of all the other school chargers they have to pay for the monthly rate to keep there phones actavated. I believe school is some where to learn not about what you get from it to go there.

Two Articles

In todays discussion I looked upon different things in a new way. We talked about how texting really affects your writing. In my personal opinion I think it does. When I am writing a paper I have to watch myself not to shortner my words. I really have to watch my spelling because your phone can help you spell out what you need to. I am not speaking for everyone out there. Some people I know speaks in full sentences and doesnt shortner any of there words. I dont believe that texting to much can cause problems. You use your hands and fingers for pretty much everything and nobody says anything about that. I think the bad thing about texting is that you loose that personally touch. You resort to texting rather then picking up the phone or talking to the person face to face.

I believe the universitys that were giving away iphones or laptops were just trying to get students to go there. Even though the brib is good students dont relieze they have to pay the extra chargers that go along with these devices. I personally would not go to those schools only if they helped me benfit my major. I think they are going to be a destration and take away the basic way of teaching the one on one feel. Then the students and teachers would both how to use these things otherwise they would fall behind. I believe you should go to a unviresity to better yourself in life and see what the offer to help you. Dont go some where based on what object they are offering you. Kids are so greedy these days and you dont no the kind of people that would just come up and steal your expensive items. I think todays descussion really helped me open my eyes. I got new look on todays society and what has involved out of it. Technology has grown so much and really has taken over peoples lives.

Todays Discussion

In class today we learned what we will be doing through out the semester in english. I am excited to be learning how to really improve my writing cause that is not my strong point in school. I have really needed held in learning how to improve my writing for my future. I am really happy with the groups I like knowing I have someone to go to when my teacher is unavilable. Everyone in my group seems very friendly and can help me when I need it. I am not very good at grpup presentations so I think all of our presentations and class disscussion will help me get over the fear of that. I like reading the articles because I will be able to learn about new things that I didnt no about. I will like to hear everyones feed back and there different opinions about what they had read. I like to learn new things it really intrests me and holds my attention in the the class so I keep doing well. I really like blogging because it really isnt a formal paper. You really dont have to worry about an opening sentence, paragraphs and things like that. Blogging it something you get to speak your mind about. It is your opinion and how you feel on the subject. Writing is going to be my biggest issue this year. I have already had a tough time writing. I was babyed my whole way through high school that I always made good grades on my papers. Of course I liked it back then but now that I am in collage it worries me that i dont really know what to do. I am looking forward to this class so I will no how to write a good paper. This class is going to help me through out the future.

Bad Grade

I was sitting in my math class take an exam. My pencil had slipped out of my hand and landed under the desk of the person sitting next to me. I tapped the person on the arm and pointed at the pencil under her desk. I did not open my mouth and I did not say a word. My teacher looked up from grading her papers on her desk and saw me looking at the girl next to me. She didnt even ask and picked up my paper and put a zero on it. My grade had dropped a whole letter grade because of that test. I thought this was a very unfair situation because i didnt even get a chance to stand up for myself and tell my half of the story. The worst part of it all was that the girl next to me didnt get anything done to her because she was facing in the right direction and I was not. I talked to all my friends about it as well as my parents and they told me to go talk to my teacher about the situation. I had to work up some courage to go talk to my teacher I just had this feeling that she wasnt even going to listen to me. Finally the next day I walked into her office and asked if I could speak to her. She told me to sit down and I began to talk. She listen to my story and she just kept knodding her head and smiling. She told me that she knew I wasnt a student that would cheat on anything. She also told me that she has to treat every st udent the same way and if she saw anyone else doing that she would of done the same thing. She said she was sorry but there was no way i could retake the test or improve my grade. I walked out still thinking this was unfair and she didnt even think twice about it. I just told myself i will make sure to bring an extra pencil to all my classes.
