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.
