Benefits & Downfall of Blogs

The use of blogs in school can be both either a benefit, and a downfall. From my opinion I feel like it is a downfall because it is very tough for people like me who have not had much experience with technology and is not familiar with what they are working with. I have been in school for nine years now and i have never had a class other than Technology that we had to use computers in. I honestly thought Language Arts class would be the absolute last class I would ever have to use computers in. On the flip side of the downfall it is also good for note taking because it is much easier and faster to type than it is to write on a piece of paper. The Internet can provide many more ways of doing projects. I honestly dislike using computers in class but many other people, I'm sure, both agree and differ with my opinion and they have that right. This is my opinion on whether blogs in class help the cause or make it worse.

Dear, Mr. Ron Major:

I am writing to inform you about how the majority of us students on this campus feel about the rules of 7th period. In order for us to go, we should have two or three missing assignments not just one. Since you are the principal I am coming to you with this situation because you helped make up this rule.

I would like to see this change occur because not everyone is perfect and even the best students from time to time miss an assignment. It happens to many people. It is much more different if someone had a handful of assignments missing, but one is really not a big deal.

Thank you in advance for considering this topic and putting a lot of thought into where I’m coming from. I look forward to a more relaxing school environment and not having so much stress over just one assignment, Thank You, This will make a huge difference.


Sincerely,

Marcus B

No I’m just kidding daughter but I need to explain to you how to keep away from Chester the Molester or Craig from down the street. Markiisa I just want you to limit out the information you give online. Don’t put your address, your phone number, your school, and especially not your picture. It could save you so much trouble if you do the right things when it comes to being online in chat rooms and talking to other people. You are my only daughter and I don’t want anything to happen to you that what take you away from me or endanger you. Please I just need you to understand why this is important and why you shouldn’t do this. Its not that I don’t trust you or anything I just had to let you know and take all the precautions I can. If some guy would of tricked you into meeting him then it would just be a tragedy to the whole family. Just be smart about this. I know you are very smart and very aware but I needed to let you know. Ok thanks just please hear me out for what I’m trying to tell you. Thank you markiisa and be good to your mother. I will be home in a few days I am just here in Toronto finishing up on these last baseball games. Talk to you soon.

Love, Your Dad

The best feeling is to feel the vibtration of a pine oriented stick hit the round guber core of a white thrown object traveling at 95 miles an hour. It is the feeling of swinging a Major League Baseball bat at a Major league baseball licenced baseball of the major leagues. To feel the rip of the air until you feel the hard but echoing tingle in your hands. You get the view of a ball destined to fly over 300 feet in the view of a tall fence where huge mobs of people are lurking upon the field to see the stars of the ones feeling this great feeling because very few are lucky to get to it.

"American History" Newspaper

The day JFK died was a very eventful day for Elena. Elena was on a playground at Public School Number 13. She was skinny and had a low self esteem due to her "flat chested body". Eugene is a boy that Elena had a huge crush on. Him and his family lived in the only house on the block with a fence and trees. He is tall and has blond hair and also wears glasses. He read books for hours at the kitchen table. Eugene and Elena know each other because they go to the same school. They lived in the city of Paterson, New Jersey on the corner of straight and market. She lived in El Building and he lived in a house on the same block. On this same day of November 22ND, 1963 John F. Kennedy had been assassinated in Houston Texas. It was a US tragedy. This day is important to Elena because she met Eugene on this day and it was important to Americans because the president that they had thought was finally going to bring good to America had been Assassinated. A sad day for most Americans but some people managed to still make it a good day.

My Career Day

Today was career day and I thought everything was very interesting. I spoke with people from K1 Speed, Palomar College, and A spokesperson from the website called California Career Zone. The most interesting of the three is the website. It was the most interesting because it allows you to see how much money I will need anually by rounding up the things I may buy. It really gives people an idea of how much money they will need for their expenses. Everything was interesting but that was the one that caught my attention the most. It was a fun substitute for school.

My Earthquake Experience

Once upon a time, in a city far away from the bottom of the ocean, lived Escondido, California. I was in the exact location of 1701 San Pasqual Valley Road 92025. I was scared out my mind! An Earthquake of a 7.2 magnitude sent waves from my brain to my body to signify I was scared. I was in the Boys Rec of San Pasqual when it had hit. It rattled the walls, shook the glass on the windows, dropped weight bars from its sturdy hanger, and floors looking as if they are about to crack. I was scared that just like in the movie 2012 that our fate was going to be similar in tragity. I really believed that it was yesterday that the world was going bye-bye. I thought it was signify the end is coming in 2010. 2 years ahead of its "due date". Lets just hope we are prepared if it does come sooner.

Ten-Second Soundoff

Yesterday was a very boring day. I got my allowence and got like $70 from people who owed me. I got into some trouble and got on restriction from Thomas. My girlfriend is mad at me. She has a good reason to be but me and my friend were bored and we were txting someone to see how we could get out of someone and I won the bet. Good but bad night.
