Post 27- Wiki in the Class

Wiki in class is a great learning tool. After reading each assignment or watching the videos there are questions to be answered. We do not now if there are right or wrong answer but there is a table that shows how many answered. I really enjoy wiki.

Post 26 - Google Drive in class

Google drive is a place of storage that allows you to store documents, photos, etc. In the drive you have Google Docs, Google docs is similar to word. In google docs the documents are saved automatically. Using the drive in class is wonderful. You can share your documents with others just by adding the other person's email address. I love how someone can make a comment on your paper with out marking over it. I really enjoy learning more about Google.

Post 25 - Blogging in the class

I really love blogging. I'm still not a writer but blogging is a way to add your taughts or ideas on paper and post to the web for others to review. I want to get past writing just three sentences. I want to write more. I'm sure blogging will inhanse my writing skills if I keep it up. I really enjoy blogging. Blogging is like quiet time in the library. When the whole class is blogging they are focus and you hear the keyboards clacking. Other English teachers should enforce blogging in their class. This is really a good way to encourge everyone to write.

                                                    
                                   

Post 24- Doc 2

My only struggle with my Doc 2 is the length. The paper has to be 1500 words long. I think I made it to 600 words. I have 800 more to go but I need to be completed by tomorrow in order to have it back by Friday to make changes. I guess I need to get to work. Good luck everybody with your Docs.

Post 23- Death 2

When you think of death, you think of something dark and sad. When death occurs the family gathers for a funeral or repast. The death process is horrible. I recall the death of my father, he was killed in California. I did not see his body until the day of his burial. It was the saddest day of my life, I was 14 years old. He was laying in that casket not looking like the father I knew. Just before the people closed the casket they wheeled it in front of me. I was seated between my grandmother and aunt, they stood me up and I swear I saw tears running down my dad's face. I hit the floor after that, when I woke up I was in the back of the limo. On June 2, 1985, was the worst day of my life.

Post 22 - Death

Death is a termination of a living organism. I have not seen anyone die in front of me but I have quite a few people I  know who has died. My best friend died in her daughter's arm. I can't imaging what she may go through at times. No one knows when it's their time to go. Emily Dickinson wrote a poem about death. The title of the poem is "Because I could not stop for death". In her poem she said "because I could not stop for death but he kindly stopped for me". I gathered she wasn't ready to die but death was ready for her. We don't know when death will come, some of us maybe afraid of death. We don't know how we may die but we do know death will come.





                                                    

Post 21- Dickinson

Emily Dickinson was a great American poet. She was never married but she spent most of her time in a room writing poetry. It was believed that Dickinson's poetry was inspired by her "closest earthly friend"(Rev. Charles Wadsworth).  Dickinson defined herself as a woman writer. Her poems was inspired by metaphysical poets of the seventieth century.

Post 20 - Myth in My life

There is not an a myth in my life more like superstitions. Growing up I use to hear "if you step on a crack, you'll break your mama's back. I tried hard not to step on a crack but did anyhow. My mom's back is working just fine. I also heard when I was growing up " he who findth a wife find a good thing", I think that is a myth. I have seen so many marry and divorce. Therefore, this is a story I have heard over and over again. The marry couple I know are constantly fighting or cheating. I can I determine this myth is true?
