Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

For the start of my 9th grade, I am taking the class English I. My teacher is Ms. Hunter. In this course we study a variety of techniques and learning comprehension skills. When I first started the class, I expected to learn how to read and write more proficiently. Also, to read many short stories and novels.

To date, I have learned a lot already about writing essays and stories. We have also read many short stories and novels. We have read "The Gift Of The Magi", "The Necklace", "The Scarlet Ibis", "I Have A Dream" speech, and "The Most Dangerous Game." Novels we have read are Speak and Romeo and Juliet. I have also built up my vocabulary tremendously with wordly wise packets. Ms. Hunter's grading policy is 40% formal assignments, 40% performance based assignments, 10% homework, and 10% informal assignments.

My favorite assignment we have done in English class to date is reading Romeo and Juliet. My favorite project we have done is our Public Service Announcements. I liked out PSA assignment because we worked in groups and my group made my class aware of the harmful affects of bullying. We use technology in the class by using the laptops do practice PARCC writing essays on the computer.

• Apple makes "penalties" for producers that leak the given information
• A lot of the accessory makers who jump the gun are small outfits that never had a chance of reaching Apple shops
• Official schematics do not show up until a given announcement, so you may end up waiting weeks while major third parties scramble to develop new add-ons and accessories
