Well since you asked...

My favorite blog, well im having trouble choosing between Should countries leave pieces of their history out and the six word story. I loved writing about if countires should "sugarcoa" things for students not to look at the united states wrong. i love the word sugarcoat, its just so perfect. and also the six word story, its so short. but it can be so emotional and have so much meaning. i mean if you write about anything think about how much power those 6 words ALONE have. its amazing that someone came up with that. its like stuffing all of your feelings into a box where you can only fit a cotton ball into.

Time to give up those pens and start saving the trees!

  Blogging to me personally, is the best way to even do things that fall under the category of homework. Who cares about worksheets half the time they dont even help anyone learn anything. THEIR BORING, and teachers give out way to many of them. every single day its the same thing. open your book...read...heres this worksheet take it home for your homework. blah blah blah. NOW finally something more cool and intresting. every day we go to school who knows how many esays we write hah. writing all day, every class. it gets tiring, but with our teachnology its better to be on the computer since every single day everyone goes on the computer. and its quick and easy to jaught down some of those thoughts and review at the same time what you did that same week without being worried about writing. :D

Remember Oregon Trail...

     I think oregon trail was a very fascinating way to review how families started journeys to the west. it is a great way to learn but without all the details. even though it can be quick and fast, it still portrays the fact that you have a family and all the things needed before you go on your trip. such as clothing for everyone, food, tools, weapons/amo etc. and also watching out for everyon. how to handle your money. and being careful crossing those rivers with your oxen. Orgeon Trail was about choice to go through the river or not. to go through the city or country. the choice of trading with others for things you really needed. it certainly did a good job portraying the time when families traveled.

Six Word Story

Continued their journey; Continued till death.

Blogging = L O V E

In my opinion, I very much enjoyed the fact that the first day of school, my teacher said we would be blogging. At that moment I was happy. I already did blog, have a blogger account and everything. But this, this is really cool. It helps state your ideas and opinions the way the student wants. I personally love to do the blogs. It’s sort of like venting in a way. You get out what you want, not what a book tells you to do or your given directions on how you’re supposed to think. You speak your mind, and I truly love that about blogging.
    Although, blogging, to me, seems like the funnest thing to do, there’s a con. And that’s procrastination. I know its junior year and these baby cries and procrastinations should be kicked out under the roof to be more focused but it happens. Too bad facebook and blogging is on the same computer screen, but I mean if you can learn to multi task then it really shouldn’t be a problem. Blogging doesn’t really take that much thought as if you were taking a test. It’s all about thoughts. Many people, though, might find this to be a problem because sometimes people don’t know how to multi task then causing them to be distracted to a point where they cannot get their work done.
      Blogging is awesome! It is time to throw away that pen and start saving the trees, and blogging is a great way to start. No hassles. Except with computer problems, which are understandable. Personally, after awhile my hands starts to cramp up and causes me to not be able to write anything. Okay, it might not be that bad but I still get tired of writing every single day in each class. And since people are so used to facebook and talking to each other by typing it seems like a quick and easy way to get things done. And still save the environment. Even though everything in this generation has to do with technology.
       I agree that blogging was and still is a successful way for students to review subjects and topics that we reviewed in class and also allows us to express our feelings in a way that could is different by being able to type and depending on what’s going on in your background while your typing everything. Sure beats all those boring worksheets that all our other teachers give us: P this is a great way to learn and review things.
        Also, by blogging no one can really use the excuse of “I lost my paper” or any type of reason why they shouldn’t do it, but the computer problem excuse, but still students can find the question and write about it. I mean who doesn’t have a computer nowadays.
