Fourth Quarter Goals!!

My greatest accomplishment of last quarter was my portfolio. I was able to go back and look for all the assignments and found some that I did not turn, but was done. My goal for this quarter is 1. Complete and turn in all assignments. 2. Pay attention and focus by not day dreaming during class. And 3. I am willing to try my hardest in getting a 3.0 or higher.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 9/10!!

This quarter I have learned a lot more than last quarter. I was able to understand most of the work and did most of my homework. I have learned and memorized the meanings of symbolism, allegory, poetry, imagery, figurative language, primary source, and secondary source.  At first I had no clue what allegory meant and now I know that it means that it is, stories in which characters and places stand for something beyond themselves usually virtues and vices. The other words I had somewhat of an idea of what they meant but now know exactly what they mean. I have learned all these meanings of words by taking notes, reading about them, making graphic organizers and doing other class work and homework. This quarter we were able to eat in class for a story that we read, I got to teach the class and also learned about John F. Kennedy. I learned and understood a lot more this quarter.

“American History” Memorable Day Paragraph!!

It was in the beginning of January of 2010 when I was hanging out at the park with my homegirl Smiley and my homie Birdy. Birdy at the time was my boyfriend but, now is like my best friend. We kicked it at the park for most of the day and then went to my pad and kicked it on the front of the porch. While we were there a lot of my other homies passed by and kicked it with us. We all planed to go out later that night. Smiley and I lived together and would always sneak out to kick it or go do something. That night Birdy called me and asked me to come to his pad and be with him instead. So instead of ditching my homegirl I went with her for a while and then got a ride to Birdy's house. I was so happy to be with him and I was able to meet his mom and I got permission to stay over for as long as I wanted. I stayed over that night until six something in the morning. We had a great time; we talked about lot of things, did a lot of things and had lots of fun. This day is important to me because of the things we talked about and did. I do not think I will be able to forget this day. This day is one of my most memorable days.

Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison!!!

Primary and secondary sources both write about one subject, person, event or thing. Primary source is written in a one person point of view of the person that was there to witness the event and what happened. A few examples of primary are a dairy, a letter, and or an interview.  Secondary source is written in the persons perspective of what happened and or a summary about what happened and saw.  A few examples of secondary would be magazine articles, news paper articles and or reference books. Primary and secondary sources are helpful because, Primary, it directly expresses the thoughts and feelings or a writer. Secondary, it is based on several different viewpoints.
