If i found a 100$. 4-24-12 Tuesday

If I had one hundred dollars, I would buy a shetland sheepdog. I have always wanted a dog, and Shetland Sheepdogs are adorable and just the right size. I think buying a pure bred puppy would be expensive, and it would ignore the needs of all the homeless dogs in the animal shelters. I would try to get one from the pound, but that would take a lot of time and effort to find that specific breed. I love animals, so this would be an awesome way to spend one hundred dollars.

How I think teachers grade work 4/20/12 Friday

My teachers grade my work in many different ways. One way is when they collect our graded homework. They usually grade this by how many questions we get right. Another way is that they count how much effort we put in to it. Lastly is if we complete the assignment on the correct time put for us. I think that they should grade u on how much effort we put in to the assignment. This way you will get credit for trying and not just getting the questions correct. Although I am not a teacher, I think I have a good understanding on how things should be graded.

One thing that i hate 4-19-12 Thursday

 I hate it when people argue about things they have no clue about. They are stubborn and think they're always right, even though they have no facts supporting their argument. The benefit I get from hating it is that I feel like I am more open minded than they are. It isn't the best benefit, but at least it gives me somewhat of a confidence boost. It costs me time wasted trying to knock some sense into them. On the other hand, it would definitely take a lot for me to stop hating it. I suppose if people thought before they started to open their mouths, it would clear up some of the conflict. It is really annoying but overall, you have to find a way to get over it.

Pass the Salt worksheet Monday 4-16-12

Emotional Language: Remember when I spoon fed you soup when you were sick? Well, the least you could do to pay me back is to pass the salt.

Cause and Effect: If you don't pass the salt, then I will have to sit here and eat salt-less, unappealing food.

Generalizations: All teenagers love to put delicious salt on their food, so why do I have to be the exception?

Rhetorical Question: Are you really just going to sit there and not pass the salt?

Downplaying: While your just sitting there, why don't you simply pass the salt to someone closer to me so you don't have to reach all the way to me?

Analogy: This food is so bland without salt that it tastes like paper. But it could turn into an exquisite meal if you just pass the salt...

three best and worst things about me 4-16-12 Monday

There are three great things about me, and three bad things. The first positive thing about me is my personality. Everyone seems to find me interesting with the things i like and the choices i make. Next would be my ability to get good grades, otherwise known as my intelligence. This I am especially proud of beacuse it's a life skill that helps you so much. The last positive thing about me would be my sense of humor. I can always make people laugh and feel happy no matter what mood they are in. But of course im am not all full of positive things. One negative thing about me is my laziness. Sometimes I have no motivation to get jobs done, and I generally am reluctant to work. Next I would say is my clumsiness. I am constantly tripping on things, and making clumsy movements that throw things all over the place. And for my third worst thing about me, I would choose my short attention span. I hate it when I'm asking someone something and instantly my attention gets diverted for something stupid. Overall these bad and good thing all make up who I am.

Persuasive techniques my teachers use 4-13-12 Friday

My advisory teacher is mrs.vandergeet, and she usually uses generalizations. Next is my first period teacher Mr.Rhodes. He likes to use downplay a lot. After Mr.Rhodes is my second period teacher Mr.Taguchi. Mr.Taguchi likes using analogies, and uses them quite often. My third period teacher is Mrs.Benigno, and she uses cause and effect. After her is of course my fourth period English teacher Mr.McCabe. I would say that he uses emotional language. Next is Mrs.Kelly for fifth period. She honestly doesn't have to use persuasion on us, but when she does she uses analogies just like Mr.Taguchi. And last but not least is Mr.Kelly who uses downplay. Mostly the persuasion works for all of my teachers, but I'm sure that the students have a few tricks up their sleeves!

Persuasive techniques on others 3-11-12 Thursday

Parents- emotional language
Teachers-exaggeration
Friends-cause and effect
Brothers/sisters- rhetorical questions

My first full time job 4-11-12 wednesday

After i graduate from a great university, i believe that my first job will be a journalist at a newspaper in either Los Angeles or NewYork. After I have spent enough time being a journalist, i would like to work my way up to being the highest editor in the company. I would try to start working with one of the smaller companies such as the daily news, then work my way up to either the L.A times, or the New York Times. The company would hire me because I am dedicated, a hard worker, and would thoroughly enjoy working for them. Over all, I hope to start small and then aim for the stars.
