5th blog

        Hello everyone. I'm so glad it's Friday. This week has been very busy. I'm getting ready to research for my next essay for English class. The topic is Crime and Punishment. I think my topic is going to be about the Death Penalty and Casey Anthony. I don't know how I'm going to put everything together is my essay but I'll figure it out as I go along.

        On Monday my English class had to come up with topics for our next essay. We came up with some good topics. Once we said enough topics our English Professior let the class leave early. We also talked about the Death Penalty. The Professior asked the class how they felt about the Death Penalty. The class was divided. 50% were for it and 50% was againist it. I think heavy topics like the Death Penalty is hard to talk about.

        My first grammar schmammar is due today. For anyone who don't know what grammar schmammar is it is a group of grammar topics that we have to research. Than give aleast a 10 minute presentation/video. My Professior keeps encourging the class to do a video but no one has done it yet. My group was given two topics not by choice but by numbering. My first topic is Subject-verb agreement and my second topic is who/whom. That's due on April 15th. Wish me luck.

4th blog

       Guess what everyone I'm finished writing my eassy. All I have to do is finish typing it. On Monday and Wednesday we went over our rough drafts in English class. We had to go into small groups and read to each other our rough drafts. I liked doing that because we gave each other some positive feedback. My first group had 4 people including me. Two of them picked the same topic as me but different scenarios and ther one chose fast food and obesity. I thought fast food was a good topic. Than my second group had a lot of different topics. Again of group of 4. There wasn't a whole a lot of people that day. One person wrote about dog fighting and the other one wrote about not having enough fundings for school activities. I thought that was a good one to. I can't remember what the other person wrote about. We gave each other a lot of positive feedback we didn't think about before. The one who wrote about dog fighting she showed us her picture of her dog. I didn't realize that I had a lot of grammar I had to fix. Reading our rough drafts in small groups helped me out a lot.

        Happy Valentine's day to everyone. Go out and enjoy yourself even if you don't  have an significant other.

3rd blog

     This has been a long week and today is only Thursday. I'm looking forward to the weekend even though I work. I started preparing and writing on my essay. My friend Tanya who is in my English class is helping me with my essay. We are helping each other. I would be lost if it wasn't for her. Our rough draft for our essays are due by February 11th and I just found out we don't have have class Friday. Yeah!!!! I can work more on my essay. I want to have most of the essay done by Sunday. My problem is citing an essay. I'm glad Tanya knows how to write it. My essay is about violent video games and how it effects youth generation.

     Yesterday my English Professor wrote sixty topics on the white board about Pop Culture for anyone who don't have any ideas on what to write about on their essay. I was glad to see my class interacting in a positive way instead of a negative way. My class likes to disagree on a lot of things. We started out on the wrong foot and that makes an impression about someone. It's like judging a book by it's cover before you read it. At least I know my class is opinionated and not shy!!!!
