technology, reflection Technology in School Paragraph

Teachers use technology to help me learn. For example, in 4th grade, my teacher used a projector to teach us how to use computers. Also, in 6th grade, my teacher used an old computer and disassembled it and she put it back together and showing us how to out it back together in case we need to take apart a computer and put it back together. In addition, in 9th grade, my teacher let us use computer to do warmups & classwork, and we have to use computers to do our homework. Future teachers can help their students to learn by using more advanced technology, and being more patient.

Academic Language Week 24 - Online Learning

There are many different reasons why online learning is an effective way to get students educated. One reason is that a lot of people differentiate between typing on a computer and writing on a piece of paper. Another reason is that a lot of people prefer to be in their comfortable area while they do their work. Lastly, other people can clarify that it is better for them to work on their class work or homework at home instead of going to school and being rushed to do things that's too fast for them. That is why there are many different reasons why students getting more educated by online learning.

Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

There are many different reasons why betting on dogs to fight should be illegal. One reason is that animal cruelty is DISTINCT to the way we treat our pets at home because we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them because they're like our family. Another reason is that a lot of dog owners have a FORMULA of what they are going to do to their dog after the dogs fight, whether it being that they won or they lost. Lastly, dogs don't have the POTENTIAL to speak up for themselves. That is why I think that dog fighting should be illegal.

Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph


    An unhappy day I had was when I got a new, free skateboard and some old man in San Diego stole it. I was in Salvation Army and then this old man came in and he took my skateboard when nobody was paying attention to him. I was looking at the magazine I was holding and I got really into it. Since I ate Peanut butter and bread earlier I kept on tasting and smelling the previous food that I ate. I was hearing my mom talking to the assistant, and then the old man came in.  The feelings I had felt from my skateboard being stolen were sad at first, but then I got over it because that man might have needed it so he could sell it and get money for food.

Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

There are many different reasons why felons should have the right to vote. One reason is that they could have a very COMPLEX way of thinking, and it could help people make better decisions on what they are trying to decide. Another reason is that they could have RELEVANT ideas, which include the justice system, or the prison they are in right now. Lastly, they could have a SOURCE of knowledge in their mind, which could link to helping out the process of voting or decision making for the country. That is why I think that felonies should have the right to vote.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I have experienced poetry by seeing and hearing my sister read and talk about poetry. When I was in elementary school I was never really a fan of poetry but if it was part of my school; I would try my best on writing poetry or anything close to poetry. When I was in middle school I still wasn't a fan of poetry but like I said earlier, I would still write poetry if it was school related. Outside of school I did nothing close to poetry, actually, I hated poetry and still do. This year I hope to have nothing to do with poetry except for participating in poetry slam with Grandma Jean.

Academic Language Week 21 - Steroids

Steroids should not be allowed in sports for many, many reasons. One reason is that there is a certain time PERIOD for taking steroids, and if you take it a lot it can ruin your health. Another reason is that a lot of popular athletes  like Alex Rodriguez and  Mike Piazza  were PRIMARY athletes, but, they got caught from doing steroids so they were fired. Lastly, steroids ruin baseball because baseball have been an important TRADITION and steroids make it unfair. That is why I think that steroids should not be included in the bodies of athletes, because they are cheating.
