this week

This week we focused on reading the play Twelfth night.  So far I am really liking it because its pretty funny.  I also started reading my books "had him at hello" which is so much more interesting than my last books in my opinion.  I am also trying to look into poeple to interview for my book topic.

This Week

This week I wrote my in class essay on the book that I had been reading for the past few weeks. This book I chose was "Why We Love". I read this book because my group and I thought it would be a nice addition to our topic of relationship advice. Along with that we began working on reading a play in class. Overall this was a pretty chill week!

Check List

This week we had quiz corrections due, as well as a checklist of different tasks. these tasks consisted on creating a diigo page and linking that and our goodreads page to my blogger account. Overall this week was very chill and easy to get through. I also am waiting to recieve my book to read.

This Week

This week in class we read a short insert of beowulf, covering the battels between the creature Grendel, Grendels mother, and Beowulf. This was acctually an intresting read with questions created to help our peraphrasing skills. This week I also narrowed down my choices to the topic of book I want to read for my inquirey project.

New Semester:

We have recently been reading alot of articles on the differences amoung language and the diverse communities that speak varieties. for example we were reading about languages that are dying out in the original countries of orgin, however they are still being spoken in places such as new york. We also read an article on the way people are treated when they are not able to speak clear engilish.

Week 10(semester review)

1. The short prompts and readings that we responded to were my favorit writing pieces. This is because we I was able to express my opinions and views on different styles of stories. Along with this I thought that the college prompt essay was very helpful for me.
2. I liked learning about tragedy and the readings that came along with it. I feel that understanding the readings you provided really helped me grasp the idea of a real tragedy.
3. I would like to do more readings as an entire class.

Week 9 (inquiry project)

"How has the character overcome a traumatic experience?"
I thought this would be an extremely good topic to pick, because many people experience different forms of abuse through out their lives. Although some may be worse then others, I feel that everyone should know that it is possible to move past these traumatic situations. This topic relates to my readings because the characters in my book have been faced with abusive situations. These situations consisted of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. I feel that my question not only relates to my books, but can relate to a lot of people as well. Overall through reading my books and researching additional information, I have found that although situations may be traumatic, there is always a possibility to overcome them and make them something positive.
