Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school confrences. One reason is because most parents or families in the U.S are middle class, that can mean that they  have two jobs and work very hard to provide their families with roof over their heads and food to eat, that can stop the parents from going to their child's confrence because having food on the table is more important to SEEK. Another reason is because most parents can't TRANSFER from one place to another in a  minute, they are most likely to run late or not even show up at all. Additionaly, the parent can be a single mother or father that has one or two jobs to support their family, they need one or two RESOURCES to live stable in San Diego or the U.S. In conclusuon parents should not go to jail, it's not fair to them or their kids because they can with out parents and believe me, thats something a child does not want.

Trayvon Martin Paragraph

George Zimmerman should be charged with murder for shooting Trayvon Martin. For example Zimmerman was fixated on crime and focused on young, black males,  this shows that Trayvon could or is another one of his victims. This shows that Zimmerman was targeting Martin for his color, I'm not sure but I think you call this racism. Zimmerman called the police 46 times sense Jan. 1, 2011. This guy is either very insecure or a total racist. Additionally in April 201, Zimmerman called the police to report a suspicious black male, 7-9 years old and skinny build. This shows that the guy is a total freak, and should probably be told not to call the police more than 3 times a month just when he feels threatened.

Academic Language Week 28- GPS on Students

Students should have GPS attached to them. One reason is because many students often arive late to school or ditch school, the CONDUCT the students have or carry on into other is a bad habbit. Another reason is because it would be a good ELEMENT to help the students get into a routine of arriving on time to school and class. Additionaly it would benefit the school with more attendance in the students side, with more attendance the school gets more money. In conclusion the ADMINISTER of the school will have better results with the GPS bracelit on the tardy or truant students.

: Rain, Vacation, or Zombies vs Vampires Blog Post Paragraph

Raining day are relaxing. For example when it rains in San Diego, almost everyone is happy beccause San Diego is a dessert type city. When it rains most people don't do anything, for example some people don't work on rainy days if their job is construcution or outside restaurants. They stay home and relax, and maybe listen to some music and drink hot chocolate. This shows that rainy days in San Diego are always something positive. The next time it rains, I hope it rains the whole time so I can relax and listen to calm music.

Academic Language Week 27 - Drug-Sniffing Dogs

School officials do not have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs. One reason is because it's under the Constitution, and everything else that's under the U.S constitution, we follow, so why should this be the exception? It shouldn't.  Another reason is because may students find it unfair to have someone else go through there stuff when they are not there, sense they sometimes take the students out to smell their stuff. In conclusion a lot of people do not having their stuff checked by anyone, and if their stuff is under the school's property, they should still have privacy.

Testing Thoughts Paragraph

I feel that that you really have to study the California High School Exam. I know that the two main subjects are english and math. Im not really concerned abou the math part, except for the Geometry problems because I'm not good at Geometry, Im a little more  concerend about english because I don't remember much about all those rules or much about it. I'm confident that I'll get most of the math part right because other than the Geomery, I'm really good at math. When I see my CAHSEE scores, I hope to feel proud of myself and to have other people be proud for me too.

Academic Language Week 2 - Cars

I would want a car that drives itself. One reason is the OCCURRENCE that some people have disabilities and can't drive their own car, it would help them if the car could drive itself  so they can get to their destination. Another METHOD is because there would be less accidents, technology is smarter than humans and can be a little bit more reliable. Lastly the PROCEED would be more efficient to use electric cars, they would take up energy and not gas. This is way I would prefer a car that drives it self but there is many more reasons.

Homonyms Practice Blog Paragraph

When I was in sixth grade, THERE was a camp I went to that I liked so much. We stayed for a week. When we got to the camp, they told us one of the bus was stuck because of the snow. They said that THEY'RE going to be late for about an hour.THEIR food was really good and especialy their deserts. The second day when we got to the camp they woke us up at 6 and said "come on YOU'RE going snowboarding!" I was so happy because I had never been in the snow before and I was excited too. I loved the bread they had in the mornings so every breakfast I would tell my friend "I'm taking YOUR bread, so watch out" I think sixth grasde camp was such a great experience for me.

Academic Language Week 24 - Online Learning

 Teachers use  technology to help me learn. For example in 7th grade, my teacher used a game on the computer called "Learning Upgrade". It helped me because it gave us practice in algebra 1, so we would use that program everyday to help us with our math. I remember she made us complete a level every week until we got to level 100. The computers were a daily  thing, actually the only thing we did on the computers was "Learning Upgrade". I liked it because it actually helped me more and I understood it more than I understood my teacher because I knew if I got a problem wrong it would make me do it over and over again until I got it right. Well it had patience, something my teacher didn't have.
               Back in 7th grade  for most of my classes we used computers. For example in my math support class, my teacher had us work on the computers too. We had another game that helped us with math, it helped us with counting money and using the time table. My teacher just gave us instructions on what to do and  what website to go to. Since my school was IB, technology was part of every class everyday. Well that was the point of being IB, involving technology in the learning proccess. We were encouraged to use it.
       In 7th and 8th grade science class we used computers almost everyday. We would watch videos that had to do with the human body, plants, earth or the solar system. We had to do research on whatever subject we were studying, or when we had to study for a test. I remember my 7th grade science teacher gave us homework online, we had a deadline. So she would give us  two days to complete it and turn it in and after the deadline we couldn't turn it in.I think that was the only thing I hated about my science class. In my eight grade science class it was a little different, he had us watch "Brain Pops" almost every day and after we finished watching it,  we would take the Brain Pop quiz and email the scores to him. After that he would give us a test on the Brain Pops and everything else.
       Throughout most of my eigth grade year, my english teacher had us use the computers almost everyday. Since it was an english class, we did essays most of the time. It was every week thay we had to do an essay on different topics, for example I remember the first essay we had to do was about a move that had changed your life. I of course wrote about moving out of my mom's house. It only takes a day to write your rough-draft and  two days to correct it, if its a five paragraph essay. Most of the week we would usually do our warm up and then right after that take the computers out.
      You can see how everyday technology developes more and more. We use it more and more whether we use computers, ipads, phones, laptops and even ipods. It actually helps us learn more using technology than having to listen to our teachers go over lessons, homework and classwork. Students like to get to point most of the time and technology would give us more opportunities. In conclusion I think teachers in the future should use technology more in and out of class.
