i changed the newspaper article into a short story about how a woman took her child on the bus and got kicked off making it so that people can see how cruel people can be in this world. it's more of a one person story telling it from my point of view as if i was the lady with the child. Audience is probably based around anyone. More preferably teens - adults, i highly doubt that any child would want to read a story about this. There are pretty basic changes since i've made it coming from my point of view.

I don't really think my feelings have much changed. Although i may have slacked off a bit during the course i really pushed my self to get all my work in and complete this course. i think ive gained alot of my knowledge back that i had forgot about since the last time i was in an english course. i do believe this course met my expectations although i could of tried harder to prove myself and hand things in on time. I really enjoyed being able to do the research project i found out a lot of interesting facts that i had not known about on my topic. i am super happy to finally be graduating :)

In today's class, I realized that there is alot more to researching than I thought. I knew that you always have to check if your soucres are reliable or not but now I have a better understanding of how to do that, and which factors are more important to use while I'm researching. I like the idea of asking my self what exactly am i researching for, writing it down and answering those questions. I do find that most sites are accurate but there are ones that are editable and those you really need to watch for cause there is a chance it is not the right information you may be looking for. I didnt gedt a chance to watch the video in class but if i have time i will definitley take a look at it to receive more information. :)

It is important we learn these skills in school and start learning them at a young age because they are skills we will always need and use. These skills help us make the right choices and decisions and help us get through life. I think that as we grow more mature we use these skills in a different way and need to put them to use to help us make bigger and more drastic decisions. I believe i use these skills on a regular basis. I use them at work, school, and even at home and on my own time. I work as a waitress, a customer complains i have to analyze the situation and think about the possible next-stop options and make it right.

why is effective planning important to essay writing?
I personally didn't think that planning was that important to an essay until i did this recent major assignment. the planning with the questions helped me through all my researching and gave me a better idea on topics to talk about in my essay. It gives you an idea on what your looking for specifically rather than searching for something that you are unsure about. It also helps you keep things clear and organized for when you complete your essay and look over everything.

i prepared by writing out what i planned on talking about and than went through my paper and only picked out the important pieces of information that really needed to be told about my poster. I believe my ideas were communicated clearly and she understood what i was talking about. I probably could have went more into detail with explaining my thoughts and ideas but it never fails that during any presention whatever i have planned out to say never goes as planned and i rush. Overall i think i could of put in a few more pieces of information but i did okay. Next time i will try to slow down on my thoughts and try to prepare throughly so i don't get nervous and communicated better.

I have no idea what to talk about so i am going to talk about passing this class. I am a very lazy person who procrastinates and leaves everything until last minute which is probably why all my assignments are usually late. I hate school with a passion which is why i need to just get this course over with and never come back ever ever again. I am not a smart person and i use big words in sentences that don't even make sense to make myself sound smart so that's probably why people never understand me and my assignments are all over the place. From here on out i am going to put more effort into my work and work on completing all my assignments and getting them all in... i say this now till it comes to it and a better TV show comes on or my cats lay with me rather than completing my stuff..I am going to graduate no matter what if I can do it after the 5th time in math I can do it English. yay me! :)

Music is a great way communication. Let’s the listeners or the writers know how someone is feeling or what may be going on in their lives. A lot of people go through some really rough things in their life i find that I’ve seen a lot of them resort to music or a type of music that makes them feel they have that communication with someone who may understand what they are going through. It also lets people know what may be going on in the world or with certain issues they care to know about. Music can be about anything it's just based on the words and how they are put together. It's a great form of communication, even to get conversation going with a person you don't know what to talk about with, or to start up a conversation. There are many different ways it communicates with the world.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
Seriously, I googled quotes because i could not think of anything off the top of my head, and i need to get my blogs done asap. Other than that this does have a true meaning that i 100% believe in. Most people try to go by this and the other quote, "Live everyday to your fullest." and sometimes it's difficult but it's what's best. I believe you can live 100 years of your life but if in those 100 years you've done nothing or acheived nothing you ever wanted to do you've really not had much of a long living life. So really, live life to the fullest, you can only go up from here, you wouldn't be where you are right now if it wasn't from learning from your mistakes and doing what you believe in, make your years count!

I plan to prepare for this major assignment by taking all of the skills I’ve learnt from my minor assignments and put them all into my major assignment giving me an opportunity to better my grammar and writing skills. Going over all the stories and re-reading the outcomes will help me achieve my goal for a good mark on this assignment. I plan to do very well on my major assignments so hopefully this one can be a good start. There has been quite a bit of preparation prior to this assignment to get me back on track of how writing should be done for this assignment. I will also work on this outside of class to make sure that i will have put forth all my effort to do well.
