APA Format

APA format is for citations on quotes of people that someone used in their research paper. A citation is when you give credit to an author for writing the quote about the person being researched. A writer needs to cite a source when they use the exact words that the author used about the person. When someone uses a direct quote they need to put a exact author name but if it is summarized then you only have to write the book it came from. A reference page is a page stating all the websites or pages you looked at for research and you create it on your own. APA is needed for citing all the authors and books all your imformation came from.

Yesterday was a crazy day. My brother ended up going to the hospital because of an allergic reaction to an unknown object. I caught up on a lot of homework but I still ended up on 2-Hour. There was a little drama but it didn't make a difference on my day. I felt bad about my brother and I was worried for him. I watched Baseball and ESPN a lot yesterday. I watched the movie Training Day last night and it is my favorite movie of all time. Mainly because Eva Mendez is in the movie but im not going into those details. That is everything I did yesterday.

Prom & BBQ

Prom for me was pretty fun. I enjoyed myself and I really enjoyed the dinner because it was delicious. I tore my plate up! The brownie they had for desert was also good and the rolls just blew my mind! Overall the night was really good. My date was just the cherry on top. The BBQ was super fun. The whole day I enjoyed myself. My favorite activity was the basketball games because I was really into it. Me and Joe led our team to the win against the sophemores. Well this is how I feel Prom and the BBQ went.

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

Greetings Daughter of the Bradshaw residents. You have been elected to talk to your father about cyber predators can catch on to anyone and it just might catch up to YOU! 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.
