Technology in School Paragraph

In tenth grade, my teacher uses a site called Quizlet.  It helps me with spelling because I create spelling flash cards that have the definitions, and when I'm done I could listen to the word and then type it in and see if I spelled it right. So its like a spelling game online.  Also in tenth grade, my teacher uses a site called Plato.  It helps me because it's a site that helps kids with every topic such as English.  In the English column They have everything from capitalization to punctuations.  In additions, in tenth grade, my teacher uses Blogger.  It helps me because it's like doing English homework but on the internet.  I really like this technique because it gives us students a different way of doing homework instead of doing regular homework on a piece of paper.  This site also keeps all your submitted work in one section so it's easier for the student to find their work, instead of keeping them in one big file.Future teachers can help their students to learn by making them study for their tests online.  Studying for an online test make it easier because they could listen to the questions and answers so they know what to say and write on the real test.         

Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

In my own opinion I think that dog fighting should be illegal.  The reasons dog fighting should be illegal is first, its a DISTINCT way of animal cruelty and no animal should go through that kind of stuff.  Second dog fighting is just another FORMULA for gang members and other kinds of criminals to get money or entertainment.  One last reason is that criminals are giving innocent dogs the POTENTIAL  to kill its own kind which is unnecessary because dogs should be treated just like humans. That is my opinion on if dog fighting should be illegal.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem instead of a story because a poem can tell a whole story in just a few lines that rhyme, and a book takes pages to tell how a character feels, and where the story is unlike a poem.  Another reason is because a poem is a another form of writing a story but with more rhyming and finesse put into it.  One last reason I would read a poem instead of a story is because a poem is something a poet wrote out of plane feeling instead of choosing their topic.  The poems people write is about what they feel at the moment and what they think.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 21 Practice Paragraph

Enhancing drugs should not be allowed in sports. The athletes would be to good for the league but then on the down fall they will end up getting seriously injured after a PERIOD of time. There needs to be a TRADITION to influence athletes not use drugs, such as steroids. PRIMARILY enhancing drugs hasn’t been a issue in sports except baseball. The idea of even letting athletes use steroids will be outrageous.

“Should Students Attend House Outings for Bonding Time”

Some kids on campus like going on house outings because it gives them time to get off campus and bond with other kids that live in their house like a normal family. But on the other hand there are kids that don’t like going on outings because of bad experiences in the past or they never had a family to bond with. Students should go on house outings for some bonding time because it not only helps them build a strong and steady relationship with their housemates it also helps them build trust and makes communicating with each other easier.

Did you know it’s proven that spending time and having fun with people that aren’t family memebers actually starts to build a strong and  good relationship with those people because you enjoy having fun with them. Some house parents say that going on outings helps build a strong relationship with other students in the house because they are use to having fun and spending time with each other that it becomes something they like to do.  It also helps the kids build trust between each other becuase they are use to being around the same kids that trust issues don’t normally apply in their everyday relationship.

If a student doesn’t like attending house outing then they might have had a bad experience of trying to bond with other people in the past and something went wrong or they never had an actual family to bond and spend time with. There are some kids on campus that never had a family to spend time with so when their house asks them to go on an outing they try to avoid attending because they are not uses to bonding with other people. According to some kids on campus they don’t like going on outings because they never had the time to bond with other people so they try and avoid going becuase they don’t know how to bond. But if they do go then they could try and learn how to bond with other people becuase if they don;t know how to bond then they might never know and bonding is a real big factor in the outside world.

When students go on outings with their house it builds a strong relationship between all the kids so they start to feel like they can trust and count on each other to be there when they need each other the most. For example I had a personal experience of having personal problems and then only people I could talk to is the kids in my house. When I talked to them about my problem I trusted them not to tell anybody and I counted on them to keep the conversation between us and thats what they did. They didn’t tell anybody about the problem because we had a strong and steady relationship that we could talk to each other about anything and count on everybody not to break each others trust.

So  basicaly this essay is about students going on house outings to build trust and bond with other kids in their house because there might be a point in time where the only people they have to talk to or bond with is the people in their house. And if they never built a strong relationship with the kids in their house then they will have a hard time talking to the kids because they aren’t use to talking to them because they never spent time to bond with them. So you should go on house outings so just in case you need someone to talk to or someone to count on you have the people that live in your house because you guys built a strong and steady relationship that they will be there for you when you need them.
