My plan to ensure that I will do well on this major assignment is to apply the skills that I have learned from all of our minor assignments. I am going to do my best at trying to use all of these skills to the fullest, and I will also have a good friend of mine look it over with me to make sure that I have not made any spelling mistakes and to correct any grammar issues. I will also use the owl website to make sure I do my citations correctly. I feel confident in using my new skills and plan on passing all of the major assignments.

Prapering for my major assigment was a little bit hard, since I go blank when is time to type. I had great ideas, opinions and enough material to make it into a 3 page assigment. I also remember lot of things that we have learned not only through grade 12 english but also through grade 11. Some issues that I had prapering this assigment was putting my ideas together and grammar. What I did is picked my 2 stories that I liked the most, and read them a couple of times to make sure I was getting the main idea. I also did a little bit of research on the internet looking for backgroud information. I hope I did well.

I think if the internet we're to vanish tommorrow would be one of the biggest epidemics of mankind. Our current generation is so entangled into the weave of the internet that i feel that so many people would not be able to handle or deal with the fact that they are not in constant connection with the world around them. In todays world we are literally one button press away from calling or sending a message to anyone in the world. Imagine if tommorrow you could not make plans with your buddy living across town. We are so connected as people in todays world that i belive we are uncapable of being seprated from each other from that bond. When is the last time you've made plans with a friend on the phone. I rarely ever do. its all by text or by web. Imagine a boy and girl in two different countries using skype(web based phone chat) or using facebook to mesasge each other for free. Would this couple still maintain a active relationship with each other. Its shocking that the internet shapes our news and our media but for a good. In most cases today twitter is used to break news. Rioters in England we're using bbm to track we're the police we're. its shocking but its today world! a connected global world.

The skills I have been practising with the minor assignments are definitely paying off as I work on this major assignment. Making a rough copy first is something I never use to do, but now that I am implementing that, I find that the idea’s are flowing more quickly and my pages fill up a lot faster than when I try to write everything perfect the first time.  I know that writing comes more easily to me when writing about something that interests me personally, so when preparing for my major assignment I was sure to choose the quote that most interested me on a personal level. I picked the two stories that I thought applied to the quote the most and re-read them and highlighted any area’s that I could refer to and use examples. I make sure to carry a pen and paper on me at all times so that whenever I randomly think of something I can use in my paper, I can write it down and work it into my rough copy when I get a chance. I know I’m very behind in my project since I had a very busy Easter weekend at home, but I am trying to catch up.

   To ensure I will meet the outcomes of this assignment I am paying close attention to the assignment outline while writing, and will be checking my work for mistakes repeatedly before handing it in.

i will start by making a outline of my essay, and think of the quotes, points, and stories that i will use.  Then make a rough draft using the assigments that i completed to help me think of what to say.  I will use alot of the skills that we learnt throughout the class, and make sure i double check my work.
