MLA Format

MLA format is very important because it is easy for students to understand and write in. Many college students have to write in MLA format. Also many professors want your paper written in MLA format. It is very important to learn how to write in this format and understand its value. This format also happens to be my favorite format!  

Sloppy vs. Neat People

In my opinion , the reason people are sloppy is because they are busy or too tired at the end of the work day or school day and let things pile up over time. Neat people are very organized and know how to plan things better allowing them more time to clean and organize their things. Not to say all sloppy people are unorganized or all neat people are organized , but if you have a long day at school and you stay up until twelve and your room is a mess , you're not going to feel like cleaning up. You just have to learn to leave enough time in your day to straighten everything up.

Gay Marriage

The things I have read about Gay marriage in our books are very interesting. Though I am against gay marriage , the authors in the book gave great points about why they feel so strongly about supporting gay marriage. The book basically says that everyone has the right to marry who they want and it supported what the author had to say.

Wikipedia Topic

My Wikipedia article will be about Pointe shoes. I choose my article to be about this because I love dance and I have loved it since I was a little girl. I used to take Ballet classes when I was little , but I quit before I began to really get into Pointe. I hope that my article informs you all more on pointe shoes!

Writer's Voice in Wkipedia Article

Your voice in your Wikipedia article should be stuffy and to the point. When I say stuffy I mean straight to the point and full of information. You article should give nothing but information about what you are writing about. The stuffy voice is very boring and not fun to read , but it is the voice you need in this article because this article is supposed to be about informing people on your topic.

How to Handle a Wikipedia Reader

The way you handle a Wikipedia reader is the same way you handle a reader in Doc1.You have to keep an open mind and remember that your reader is trying to help you improve your writing. When you are writing in Wikipedia , anybody can come and edit your work. If you write an article , and you don't know what you are talking about , a Wikipedia will tell you and may not be so friendly about it! Just keep an open mind that everyone won't always agree with you , but take it as a learning experience.

Doc1 Thesis

Our Doc 1 handles its thesis by restating  our facts about how important it is to begin creating a professional online image in college. It is very important for college students to begin working on their professional online image now because if they don't , it could harm their future later in life when they try to get a job. Our Doc1 thesis basically restates the purpose of the whole paper.

Wikipedia Project

I think the Wikipedia project is a great way to express how we feel about our major , or our passion. It also gives us a chance to learn about a new tool on the Internet called Wikipedia. I have never used Wikipedia before , except to look up and research h things , but never to write an actual article. I think this will be a great new learning experience for me.

How You Handle a Reader in Doc1

The way you handle a reader in Doc1 is to remember to keep an open mind. You have to realize that not everyone will agree with what you are saying in your Doc1, but that is fine because everyone has their own opinion. You have to keep in mind that their are some very blunt people and they will tell you if they like you paper or not. You have to keep a level head , and not let everything upset you.

Writing as a Tool for Learning

I learned that you can use writing as a tool for learning because you learn about a particular subject. When you write you have to have some knowledge about what you are writing about. Say if you were writing about how sodas affect the body , you have to research that topic and learn about what sodas do to the body. Writing is the perfect tool for learning because it causes you to have some sort of knowledge about what you are talking about. 

Open Choice

My first few weeks at Middle Georgia State University have been great so far! I have met some great people and I have also made some new friends. I am enjoying all of my classes and my professors. I feel like I am going to excel in all of my classes. The only class I am worried about is Math and I have my first test on Thursday. Hopefully I will do better than I think on my test.

Writing to learn

To me , writing to learn is all about practice. It takes a lot of practice to do anything. When you learn to ride a bike you don't get on and magically learn , you must practice. When you begin learning how to write you must practice as well. It is a long process and it takes time, but the more your practice the better you will become at writing .

Doc 1 Topic

 I learned that the Doc 1 topic is a great way for us to begin communicating with our peers and hearing their thoughts on our work. I think that having us work in groups on our topic is a great way to keep from making many careless mistakes. The fact that when we share our documents and even more people can comment and see what changes need to made to the paper. I think this was great a great learning experience.
