Technology in School Paragraph

Teachers that use technology help me in a lot of ways. For example, in 9th grade, my teacher used her computer and found all of my missing work. It helped me because I would have lost all of my work if she did not use a computer. Also, in 5th grade, my teacher used the computer. It helped me because she marked my attendance right so i got a perfect attendance award. In addition, in 3rd  grade, my teacher used a video game. It helped me because she used it to calm me. Future teachers can help their students to learn by using computers and keeping track of work on it.

Week 24 focus question: Is online Education effective?

Online education can be effective depending on the person, I would not like to be online educated. I would not want to have an online education Because I would not be able to ask questions and interact with students to get new insight on stuff. It could be hard for the teacher to properly clarify assignments and differentiate classes and kids. You may be able to Email them somehow but they may be in a different time area so they may not get back to you right away.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 23 Practice Paragraph

Dog fighting should be illegal because the dogs don't naturally want to fight they make them fight. The dog may have had the potential to be a great pet and a great friend to a person, but having them fight makes them to aggressive. I hope people that conduct these fights get punished, it should be counted as murder. The rings they have these must have a distinct smell of dead dogs and blood which is gross. I heard that some dog fighters put a certain formula in the dogs food which has some steroids.

Poetry essay Febuary 6th

My experience with poetry has been very good luckily i've been around it a lot and sometimes when i'm down I just look at a good poem. Poetry can be very enlightening and give you a whole new outlook on things. Everywhere you look there is Poetry, there is so many different kinds of poetry.

When I was in elementary school our teacher gave us a rap in 3rd grade to help us learn our multiplication tables. Each year of school that I remember there has been something to do with poetry either we had to write an essay or paragraph and also in third grade we had a contest and me and my friend ricky were the best in our school and our teachers took us to Burger King. 

When I was in middle school we had to do essays all three years. In 6th grade we had to write our poems and read them aloud in class and I was very shy in fact I almost didn't want to do it. Outside of school I have participated in poetry slams i've been to a poetry slam with real poets and i've made poems of my own.

One of my favorite poems is by Abraham Lincoln- "If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my axe." This poem means to me that you should prepare properly when doing a task. Another great one is by Martin Luther King Jr.-If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do keep moving forward.

This year I hope to get more involved in poetry and maybe even make poetry of my own. Poetry should not be work, it should only be a passion.

Practice paragraph

I think steroids should not be able to be used in sports because its bad for you. Sometimes coaches push there players too hard and in that period in time there primary goal is to seek there coaches needs they are willing to do whatever it takes such as taking a drug but in the future it may ruin the athletes career traditionally this happens to younger athletes more so than older.
