Technology in School Paragraph

 Have you ever used computer games to help you learn? Yes, I have used computer games to help me learn math in my middle school years. My teacher used IXL.com http://www.ixl.com/promo?partner=google&phrase=middle%20school%20math&gclid=CNH6sM3av64CFYUBRQodjnnmFQ to help my classmates and I learn better and understand what we are doing. It helped me because it showed me how to do the math problems step by step. Also, in my freshmen year, I remember my teacher making us go online and post paragraphs about our days, we called it "Diary". It helped me alot because I started writing better. She used her personal website so wthat we can post our posts privetly. Now that I type instead of writing, more ideas comes to my mind. Moreover, in my sophomore year, my teacher also made us go online to test our skills, but that didn't last for awhile because we told him that it was too easy. Future teachers can help their students to learn by having them go online and test their skills to see where they're at and seeing them using computers and different colors is a lot better that books, because books are pretty boring most of the time.

Academic Language Week 24 - Online Learning

Online learning is not an effective way to educate students because it would be difficult for the student to get clarification on things they don't understand. Another reason is because the teacher would not be able to differentiate between a hardworking student verses a lazy student. Also it would be a insufficient way to educate students because it would be to easy for the student to get distracted depending on the area they are confided in. So in conclusion, online learning is not an effective way to educate students.

Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

Should dog fighting be illegal? Dog fighting should be illegal because it is DISTINCT. Dogs will act different around humen as well if they keep fighting other dogs. It is bad because it is POTENTIAL that they might also hurt people too, by that, the owner might get in trouble. They get used to the FORMULA of fighting. Forcing other dogs to do stuff makes the economy worst. So that is why I think dog fighting should be illegal.

Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph

When I was in Turkey, I went to the best birthday party ever! My friends and I got dressed up, and headed to the party. As soon as we walked in, we could smell all kind of food her mom made. We listened to music while we made fun of eachothers' outfit. The music was really loud to the part where we didn't notice that the boys has finally arrived! When the boys walked in, all we did was look at the cute guys, trying to have a converstaion with them. If I remember right, I was tweleve at that time. As we got comfortable being around the cutest boys in school, we danced like there was no tomorrow! We ate all kind of food, such as; sushi, tacos, and different kind of sandwichs. They tasted so good, but not as good as the cake she got from the most exppensive store in the city. It was also the day when I knew that I had a crush on my classmate, and it was a big crush!! How did I know? We danced together and as the slow music played, all I could feel is his arm around my waist and his hand holding mine. I felt that my hear can stop in any moment. I got picked up with my girl-friends and headed to a sleep over, and all we could talk about was how we each fell for these guys. I felt like I was a grown-up, finally parting and having a crush.

Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

Should felons be allowed to vote? Yes, they should because felons are humans just as everyone else. A felon can be as simple as stealing some shoes or as COMPLEX as 3rd degree murder, so before stripping a criminal of their rights, look at the felon they committed because as we all know, consequences are determined by the action, so there is no point in taking away the right to vote to a criminal who stole shoes. Also there are criminal that are locked up because of lack of evidence of their innocence, so it would be IRRELEVANT to take away the right to vote to an innocent human being. Also instead of stripping the criminal of the right to vote as a consequence you should help them and find the SOURCE of the problem. So in conclusion, felons should be allowed to vote because it is a right.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

The first time I have experienced poetry was in my freshmen year. I found myself writing about my feelings and what I really want to tell people. I started rhyming and experience of what I was writing.
On one hand, experience of what you're writing about can be helpful, and usually gives me a sense of authenticity. I enjoyed writing it because I was expressing myself and wrote down my deep thoughts. I showed it to my best friend and she loved it! Her reaction made my life, and that was the time when I knew that I might me talented in writing poetry. In my sophomore year, I manged myself to show it to my English teacher. When I did, her eyes were wide open. Without asking me, she shared it with the class and the class kept on wondering who it was. Until this day, nobody knows it was mine. I still have the poetry. If you ever wonder why I wrote from the first place... it was because I was really mad at my mother for being against me all the time so I went to call my friend to talk to her, but she wasn't there. So I started writing in my diary, and it became a poetry! Ever since that day, I've been writing poems about everything I feel, and that was what cheered me up the most. This year, I hope I can get the courage to share it with some of the people in here! <3
