Using Blogger In College Classes

This is the first time I have ever used blogger , but I love it.  It is a great way to help us practice our writing. Sometimes it is hard to write on a certain topic , but we need to write on something that is hard, because our professors are not going to always give us an assignment that is easy to write on. Using Blogger in this class was a great experience for me and it was also a new learning experience as well. I am sure we will all appreciate using blogger in this class in the long run.

Classmate Posts

I read my classmate Sierra's post and she made a very interesting point she said "One thing that helps me when I'm typing my paper is that I re-read it to make sure that it still stays on topic." I completely agree! That is the best way to make sure you stay on topic and make sure you get your point across to your reader. I also agree with my classmate Willie when he said ,"My doc3 paper was one of the most challenging papers that i had to write this year. ...Its like i have to stretch some of the ideas that i really want to talk about". This was one of the most challenging papers I have had to write , because you had to really research about your topic. You couldn't just wing it and throw something together , you had to really get information on your topic. I enjoyed reading both posts by these students.

Peer Review

Peer review is a very important and helpful process. When you peer review , you must remember not to be particular about every little thing. Help point out the major things such as sentence fragments , spelling mistakes , and things like that. You have to remember to try not to come off as rude to your reader. Make sure your reader knows that you are just trying to help them get a better grade. The reader must remember to not take everything to the heart as well.

Doc 3

The things that helped me stay on task while writing my Doc 3 were sitting in a quite place and really focusing on my work. When writing a paper , you need to be completely focused with as little distractions as possible. So what I do when I am writing a document , I cut off my television , my phone , and put my computer in front of me and begin to do my research. That is the only way I can really focus on my writing because I am so easily distracted. The best way I can stay focused is to go to the library for a certain amount of time and do my work.

Favorite Blog Post

My favorite blog post was about our favorite childhood games. Writing about this post made me miss how much fun and how many memories it brought back for me. It was also fun reading some of my classmates posts. I loved being taken back to my childhood , I think this is why this post was my favorite."Tag , Duck-Duck-Goose , "Mother May I", those were some of my favorites , but my all time favorite childhood game was Hide and Go Seek. I loved this game because you had to think about where you were going to hide, how you weren't going to get caught , and how you were getting back to base without getting tagged."

Open Post

I can't believe how fast the first semester of my college career has gone by! I have had a great experience so far and it has been fun. I am so glad it is almost time for Thanksgiving break , because I think we all need a break. It's going to be so much fun being around family and friends. I also very excited about all the food my Nana is going to be cooking. Anyone that knows me knows I over love food so I am very excited about our upcoming break!

How to Revise Your Document

You revise your documents by go back through your documents with a fresh set of eyes and editing the small things. When you finish typing or writing your document , I can almost guarantee you had a mistake somewhere along the way. If you typed your document I suggest printing it off  because some people say it is easier to catch their mistakes on paper , rather than on a computer. You need to sit down and focus on nothing but your document. You need to look for spelling errors , punctuational errors , and sentence fragments. When you revise your documents you need to look for the tiny mistakes that will make a big difference in your grade.

Analyzing Posts

In one post I read, Sierra talks about a few of her favorite childhood games. "Although I played a lot of childhood games, I think my most favorite ones would be Hide'n'Go Seek, Heads Up, 7-Up and Marco Polo." Reading this post made me realize how much I miss being a child playing all these different games with my cousins. The next post I read was by Willie Ramsey and he talked about how he had a conflict in high school."One of the worst things that happened to me was my shoulder injury. This was a serious down fall. I had to stop playing football all together. Just imagine having to give up something you love." I had the same experience when I was in 8th grade and I had to give up cheering because I tore several ligaments in my knee including my ACL. Both of these students had some great posts!

Chilhood and Adult Conflicts

I feel that every child will have a  conflict with many different adults through life. Whether it is his or her parents , grandmother , or professor , all children run into conflicts with adults. When dealing with these conflicts ,the adults and children have to remember to keep a level head , especially the children. I say this because some adults like to use their authority over you just to push your buttons. They want you to get made an react so they can ground you , write you up , or fail you depending on who you are dealing with. The best advice I can give is to always remember to try to keep your cool and be respectful both the adult and child should do this.

Childhood Games

I had lots of favorite childhood games when I was younger. Tag , Duck-Duck-Goose , "Mother May I", those were some of my favorites , but my all time favorite childhood game was Hide and Go Seek. I loved this game because you had to think about where you were going to hide, how you weren't going to get caught , and how you were getting back to base without getting tagged. The game was always fun , energetic , and exciting especially if you play it with your loved ones!
