ReplyDelete1. I thought the essay was for the most part easy , being as though you gave us an example essay & a template in case we couldnt find ideas .
2. The most difficult part for me was having to hand-write the essay out first , only because I got so used to writing 600 word essays , never dealt with so many words . Though hand writing the essay was ALOT for me , finding the words to thoroughly explain & get my point across about why i felt this was a problem was very easy .
3.The most interesting thing i learned , had to be that 70% of the teen population turn to drugs for comfort & support : it was just CRAZY to me .
4. I will definitely challenge myself more for the second quarter project , meaning i'll use more SAT words , pick a more challenging topic , & choose better books for research .
1.I found this essay to be a little difficult and stressful.
ReplyDelete2.The most difficult part was writing the essay, then having to type it.
3.The most interesting thing I learnd was that Prince Georges County was ranked among the dirtiest 10% of all counties in the US.
4.I will still do my best and I would find better resources and use more of the SAT words.

ReplyDelete1. Writing the essay was easy for me because you gave us an example and the template, but it did take alot of time.
2. The most difficult part for me was finding my internet sources and my books.
3. The most interesting thing I learned from doing my research was that the main people who litter are between 16-24. I thought it would be people younger than that.
4. I will do it the same way but I will start earlier and not wait until the last minute.

ReplyDeleteI found it very time consuming to write my reasearch essay. I was constatly looking for good quotes, analyzing my internet articles,and finally writing it. The most difficult part of writing my speech were the in-text citations, having to flip through the book and find decent quotes to put in that I could also expound upon was tough! What went well was the eleboration of my thoughts being able to creativly and meticulously explain myself. The most interesting thing I learned was that our minds will make the things we're not good at appear less important. For example if you can't draw your brain will make drawing seem inconsequential to you. What I plan to do differently is not mistake a simple outline for a response that could be my essay, but all jokes aside i'll probably chose a tpic where I can collect others opinions, like teachers and strangers along with crunching avaliable numbers. I feel these changes would only improve my essay's.

ReplyDelete1. It was pretty easy because i already had everything in order
2. Trying to get the the right amount of words
3. In 1972, americans spent $3 billion on fast food, and that number jumped to $110 in 2003
4. I would probably find more interesting facts to put in my essay
1.It was terrible.I left both of my books in my locker.I left my speech in my locker.I didn't have much time to piece it together and I am pretty sure that I am going to get a bad grade on it.
ReplyDelete2.Trying to expand on what I previously had and remember as much as I could from my speech was difficult.
3.I am surprised to see that boys get bullied more than girls do.
4.I will be prepared for sure.
Writing the essay was very interesting for me because I was really interested in the topic. The most difficult part of writing the essay was getting my wording together. I had a couple moments where I knew what I wanted to say but I couldnt put it on paper. The easiest thing was finding the quotes. I think this was easy because I had a good selection of resources. Doing this essay, I found out some things about how women and soicety roles are viewed in other countries regarding purity and society's "natural" law. On my next paper, I will probably write all my ideas and main points down first before I write instead of trying adlib as I'm writing.
