Technology in School Paragraph

My first experience with educating computers games was when Ms. Priester introduced the class to Quizlet.com. At the beginning my first thought was that the website was for children and we were wasting our time. Then, I started warming up to the idea because I was getting my study time in, and the computer corrected me when I made a mistake. If I didn't have the spelling list printed and in my binder; I would go on Quizlet and study the words on the computer as another resource. I found it easier to go on the computer to study the words instead of getting quizzed by my house parents. I like the fact that computer games don't have to be complicated or boring, and I can concentrate better too.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 23 Practice Paragraph

Dog fighting should be illegal. Even though they are very DISTINCT from humans they are still living animals.  POTENTIALLY good dogs are harmed in the process of training the dogs to kill their opponent. Therefore, they are trained to have a mind set of exterminating their own kind. People should not use this FORMULA of violence to entertain and make money off of. They are apart of this world also, so they should have just as much rights as the human kind of living in peace and serendity.

Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph

When you were born I wasn't prepared for your sweetness.
The touch of your soft baby hands and your cute button nose.
I couldn't be more proud to being your big sister.
When not a morsle passed your lips yet, the smell of your breath was as pure as your innocence.
I couldn't get over the sight  your dark brown eyes when you first opened them.
I could look into them forever as if I could see your future.
The sound of your giggle for the first time made my heart fly like a baby blue bird.
I tasted your baby food when you didn't want it for a week, and understood why you kept spitting it out.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

http://www.pageandpalette.com/files/pageandpalette/books.gifIf I'd had a choice between a book and poetry I couldn't choose. I love books because it lets explore in different worlds of a unique author's minds. I love poetry because it's really deep in thoughts and feelings.  It taps into a whole different level of feeling and understanding for me. I'm a little more keen on poetry because it comes from the heart and soul for me and not just made up of characters. Stories give me the chance to experience the imaginary side of my favorite authors. I'm sorry I can't give you an answer because literature is the same for me in any unit. I love to read both stories and poetry.
