Last Moodle session!

Well today class was held once again online, for the final moodle session. So I had read the last chapter on the Handbook Writing Effective Sentences and its also like a brief conclusion on what the handbook has covered. We covered so much this semester! I hope we all keep this in thought and use it as it is a very helpful resource. Enjoy the weekend guys!

Last Day on Moodle..

I'm actually going to miss our Moodle days. Having the freedom to go online when I can is a very blessed privilege. I guess it'll be just class time for all of us! I can't wait for our party, Im really looking forward to it. See you all next week!

Writing Effective Sentences part2

Effective sentences need to be concise, fluent, emphatic. To write good sentences takes careful study and good, regular practice. You can study the guides in such textbooks as Writing for College and Technical English in the CAT electronic library or on-line books such as Elements of Style. This section will provide some guides that can help you avoid the most common problems candidates have in writing sentences. The list is basic and selective.
It is expected that you can write Standard American English. If you need to review rules about grammar, punctuation, spelling, or sentence structure, you are asked to consult a college composition handbook. In fact, it is recommended that all candidates have a composition handbook on their desks for reference at all times.
Following are some guidelines for writing effective sentences.

Effective Sentences

Effective Sentences : A correct sentence may not express the idea it intends to express very clearly or forcefully. Correctness alone cannot make a good sentence. It has to be effective at the same time. Effective sentences have some or all of the following qualities: unity, coherence, brevity, emphasis, and variety.

Handbook

Chapter 17 speaks to Handbook: Writing Effective Sentences. This includes parts of speech, kinds of sentence, combining sentence, avoiding wordy phrases, so forth and so on. This chapter will definitely enhance and improve my writing skills and speaking skills.

Wednesday

So today, was our LAST online session! I cant believe we're nearly done with the semester! Anyway, we had to discuss in our own opinion which area in the handbook we thought was most resourceful. According to majority of my classmates, all the areas were important to us. And I agree because every technique counts and makes an essay well constructed. And everything taught in the handbook can really help us in writing papers especially now that we're in college.

By the way..I had to makeup both tests 3 & 4 this evening and I must say, they were quite difficult. I really hope I at least did okay and that I pass this semester with a satisfying grade.

Yay, I cant wait til Christmas break! I'll see everyone on Monday and good luck on your "special projects!"

Last Moodle Session

It's been really great. I feel like I'm going to miss going online for class. It really has been quite the experience. For our last Moodle session, we discussed about the handbook, which contained a lot of useful information.

November 30, 2011

Today is our last moodle session=(((

We went over Chapter 17: Handbook- Writing Effective Sentences. We had to discuss which areas of the Handbook we felt were most resourceful. Just like everybody else, I thought that all of them were resourceful. They were all helpful to me. It is a great guide to use when writing a paper.

I'll see you all on Monday! Have a great weekend and don't forget about our extra credit and good luck on the special project/final exam.

LAST MOODLE SESSION

Today is our last day for online moodle sessions! For today's discussion, we have to discuss the areas of the Handbook that we found to be most resourceful. It was a great experience having class online and it gave us a taste of the college life. I will miss our moodle room and all the discussions we have participated in as a class. I feel as though I have become a more educated student because of this experience.

See you all next week and goodbye moodle!

last day

So, today we had an online session. We had a discussion on which of the areas in the handbook are helpful. I thought that all areas are helpful. I can not choose just one. I am sad that this is our last moodle room session. I hope that everyone is having a good day.

Wednesday Class

Today our class was held online in moodle. We discussed about chapter 17 which is Handbook. It basically shows different areas that can be used to write an effective sentence. I found that all of the areas are resourceful. Have a great weekend everyone!

Monday

We went over chapter 15 and 16 and this were the last chapter we discussed about in class. On chapter 16 we discussed about how to write a research paper. There are ten steps to write a reasearch paper. The chapters were simple and udnerstanding.

On Monday, we went over Chapters 15 and 16. Those were our last chapters. We are finally done! We went over on how to cite properly and the 10 steps to write a research paper. Then, we did some exercises. We also talked about our 5 points extra credit and went to the computer lab to do our teacher evaluation.

See you all on Monday! Good luck to all of us on the final exam/special project!!!!

Blog

On Monday, we went over the chapter 15. We did some exercises that made us understand the topic more. I'm glad that we made it this far guys. I hope we will all do good on the final exam or projects.

Monday

I was absent but from reading everyone else's blogs, we briefly went through chapters 15 & 16 and learned the MLA format along with properly citing and writing a research paper. Afterward, there was a 5 point extra credit opportunity that was given out but I am not quite sure what it was. I hate it when I miss important notices in class. Anyway, I'll see everyone on Monday since our next class is online. I can't believe we're practically done with the semester. Keep up the good work everyone!

Monday

On Monday's class we discussed chapters 15 & 16. We also went over how to properly cite our work. In class we discussed the MLA writing format and talked about the special project. We'll see you all online in our moodle room!

Monday

Today in class, we discussed about Chapter 15 and Chapter 16. In Chapter 16, it talked about Writing Research Paper and we should also remember the 10 Steps to help us through writing the paper. We are also given an extra credit opportunity which is worth 5 points.

Next class will be held in our Moodle Room.

Chapters 15 & 16

Our class did an exercise on Chapter 15, which covered responding to questions under critical thinking on a story called "My Life to Live-Or Not". This was not an easy argument as ones life is a life that should be lived. Evidently, the State of Oregon had passed legislation favoring physician-assisted termination. No doubt that this was extensively debated during sessions where religion, specialty groups, organizations who were for or against had a lot to express about this issue prior to its enactment. I'm almost certain as well that there are specific conditions in order to be a candidate for this very controversial issue prior to termination. Not easy at all. In Chapter 16, our class learned about the 10 steps to writing a research paper and the proper application of MLA Style and Works Cited.

The end is near for this semester. Congratulations to all of us!

11/28

Today, we learned mostly about writing a research paper. I'm glad that we went over this. I really forgot how to cite sources and I found it awesome to re-learn it again. Now I must concentrate on the special project and the extra credit.

Monday November 28, 2011

It's English class once again! For today's session we've completed Chapter 15 Argument: Writing to Persuade with Exercise 13. It required us to identify the different parts of an argument essay. Afterwards, we started on Chapter 16 which was Writing the Research Paper. There are ten steps to writing a research paper and all are mentioned in the text. We skimmed through the chapter fairly quickly and diligently before heading off to the computer lab to do our teacher evaluation.

See you in the moodle room this Wednesday!

11/23/11

On Wednesday, we had our class online. We discussed what an argument is and wrote what are some examples of argument. It is persuasion on a topic which people reasonably disagree. It involves controversy.

11/ 21/11

On Monday, we went over chapter 14, which is on Definitions. We read a short story, Graffiti, and did exercises afterwards. This was a helpful way for us to understand the chapter.

Wednesday class!

Sorry everyone for being late on blogging. Our class on wednesday was held online. We had to discuss about chapter 15. It is basically about argument and persuasion. Hope everyone had a good weekend. See you guys on Monday!

November 21, 2011

I had some problems getting on the Internet. On Monday, we went over an article about graffiti. It was well organized. It was understandable and educational. Hope you guys had a great weekend.

November 24, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving classmates and Professor Rivera! Lets take a moment in our schedule today to pray and give thanks for everything that we've received. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your families and God bless!

cr. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z238/e-mail_addict/ThanksgivingBanner.jpg

11/23

We had our class online. We went over Chapter 15, which was the argument again. I was surprised because I felt like we did that during the last session. Anyways, I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011

Wednesday class was held online and we have to discuss about Argument in our moodle room. we experienced arguments everyday in our life. Sometimes its really worse but sometimes its kinda pointless. Also we have a long weekend because of Thanksgiving Holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and Have a great weekend.

Argument

Todays class was online in our class moodle room. We were assigned on Chapter 15 which was to discuss what argument is and to give some examples of this type of writing. I'm pretty sure everyone experiences many arguments in their daily lives. Argument is persuasion on a topic about which reasonable people disagree. As simple as that.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Hello Everyone! En100 was held online today. We discussed Ch. 15, Argument: Writing to persuade. I thought we already went over that chapter, but I may be wrong. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See you on Monday.

Almost Thanksgiving!

Today wasn't a very productive day for me. With the excitement of Thanksgiving, I found myself prepping food to boredom. After sleeping it off, I did my Moodle about arguments. I found some examples to be every good, such as the one about gay marriage. Well, I hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving!

Moodle Wednesday 11/23

The day before Thanksgiving is when we have our scheduled online session! For today's lesson, we have to discuss what an argument is and give examples using this type of writing. I found this lesson very simple as I am sure we have argued on different topics many times in our lives.

We have one more moodle session to go before we are done with the semester. Everyone keep up the good work!

Moodle Online

Moodle Online Alert...this evening we moodle. There are actually great and interesting topics to contraversial arguments. Be safe and enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Guys!

Today class is being held online and we had to discuss argument writing to persuade. This topic was interesting to me since I enjoy arguing and debating with others. Well during this break I will be working on finishing up my projects and hope to enjoy this weekend. Hope you all have a great thanksgiving and gain twenty pounds from all the good food this weekend! See you guys next week.

November 23, 2011

Today our class was held on moodle! Our online sessions are coming to an end soon ;(((

Well anyway we had to go over Chapter 15: Argument- Writing to Persuade. We had to discuss what and argument is and give some examples of it. It was pretty easy. Hope you all get a chance to post before midnight!

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a great weekend!

Our last meeting in EN100, we went over Ch. 14, Definitions. We all practiced exercise 11 and 12. Writing definitions and/or finding them is not that difficult. We also went over the other projects we could do to make up for our final exam. I chose to make an anthology with 10 poems/short stories. See you all on moodle later.

November 21, 2011

Our Monday class, we discussed our options for the final exam. We had to choose when before the end of the class or email it to Dr. Rivera before midnight if we were still undecided. We also went over "Graffiti: Taking A Closer Look" by Christopher Grant. It was interesting and very educational.

Class Session

Class yesterday we had performed an exercise on Chapter 14 - Definition: Clarifying Terms. We were able to review very closely was about "graffiti". The write-up was clear, concise and well organized. It was also very informative and easy to read. Definition was provided and terms were clarified.

11/21

Yesterday, we got back our tests and as I predicted, I did not do so well. We learned about definitions from Chapter 14. Also, we stated what we are doing for the special project. I really hope to do well on that assignment.

I'm BACK

I'm finally back in school!
Today I had to makeup test #2, which was based on chapters 5 and 6. I remembered most of the material and the questions were basically self-explanatory. Hopefully I did good! Before class ended, Dr. Rivera gave back the previous tests and she went over grades with everyone who wanted to know theirs.
Dont forget next class is online, so I'll see everyone back on Monday! :) Have a great weekend!

Grades on the Edge?

Today, we went over chapter 14. After having a group reading, we talked about the activities we'll have for the last day of our semester together and our final test. Before class ended, I checked my grades and found out that I'm 2 points away from failing! I've never been this scared in my life.

November 21, 2011

In the beginning of class, Professor Rivera handed out our test #4. I am pleased with my grade and I hope everyone had a positive result as well. For today's lesson, we covered Chapter 14 which was about definitions. We did Exercise 11 to further knowledge us about definitions. I found the lesson very informative and I had a better understanding on ways to define different words.

Our next class session will be on moodle room. See you all there!

cr. http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary.aspx

11/21/11

Happy Monday everyone! Today we read an article on graffiti and did an exercise on it. It is a simple, yet educational chapter. Well, enjoy your thanksgiving break and I'll see you guys next week! :)

Definition / Argument

The assignment for the two chapters were on moodle online. These covered 'definition' and 'argument'. There are two parts to the definition - simple and extended. Argument is basically persuading, influencing the audience. Some instances can be controversial.

11/17

I learned about arguments and definitions. I truly didn't know that there were techniques to creating definitions. Arguments, too, surprised me with the information it contained. I wish you all a good weekend.

Hey everyone! Wednesday our class was held online. We had to go over Chapters 14 & 15. I thought it was very informative.

Have a great weekend everyone!

11/16/11

Todays chapters were on definition and argument. There are several techniques for writing simple definitions such as basic dictionary meaning, synonyms, direct explanation, indirect explanation and analytical or formal definition. I though chapter 14 was fairly easy to understand. To have an argument, you must have evidence. The four kinds of evidence that can be used are facts, examples, statistics, and authorities.

Moodle Wednesday!

So today on the moodle room we had two assignments. Both chapters provided good information. One was chapter 14, which was on definitions. The other was on chapter 15 which is argument.

wednesday

Today our class was held online. We discussed chapter 14 and 15. Chapter 14 is basically about definitions and what is included in a definition. In chapter 15, It discussed about Arguments and persuasion. Have a good weekend everyone!

Test # 4

On Monday, we had our test number 4. I was happy that it was not like test number 3 where we had to read so many stories. It was okay, but I don't think I'll get an A. Hope everyone did great!

"Testing Anxiety"

Hafa Adai,

The Test was on chapters 9 through 11. How convenient, it so happens to be the date that changed the lives of Americans. I thought I knew the things I studied were going to be easy on the test, but really turned out I didn't know most of the test. The test was pretty tough, and I kept on second guessing my answers.

Crazy Wednesday!

Had a very busy Wednesday. Right after school I went straight to work only to be bombarded with orders. Apparently, there was a very important function going on and it required maximum attention. In short, I'm bushed and hopefully I can still do my Moodle assignments. I haven't started yet, but I will after this blog!

Nov. 16

Today, our class was held online in our EN100 moodle room.
There, we had to do two assignments. The first was to read Chapter 15 and discuss what an argument consisted of and to give some examples. The other was Chapter 14 which talked about Definitions. We had to discuss is and also discuss the techniques of simple and extended definitions.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello everyone! Today en100 met on moodle. We discussed Ch.14 and 15. Definition and Argument. I've learned how to develop an argument in writing and how to use and write simple and extended definitions. Have a great weekend everyone! See you on Monday.

Online CLass

Today, our class was held online and we have to discuss about what is definition and what it consists of. We also had to discuss about the Argumentative Essay and give examples.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Moodle Wednesday 11/16

Hello everybody! We have two assignments for today's online session. First, we have to discuss what an argument is and give examples of using this type of writing. Then, we must discuss what a definition consists of and discuss the techniques for writing simple and extended definitions. I hope everyone does their part in contributing to our online discussions!

Everyone have a great and safe weekend. See you all next week!

moodle

Today, we had our moodle room session. We had to write about arugment. This topic was easy if you actually read the book. It can really relate to our daily lives.

MOODLE MONDAY!

So today on Moodle Monday we had to share our input on the Argument: Writing to Persuade lesson. I feel that this is a skill I practice almost everyday. I enjoy debating and I do a lot of it in my PS202 class, so I do a lot of writing that may be used to persuade others. When preparing for a debate we have to write opening and closing statements as well as rebuttals and when I prepare I have to insure that the information I put out there supports my side of the argument. I believe that I am getting better at this skill and learned so many techniques to improve.So...anyone want to debate me??? :)

Monday, we took our test #4 on Chapters 9-11. I didn't prepare too well for it, so I'm not sure how I did. I'm not expecting an A on it, but I did try my best. Hopefully my score isn't that bad. I like how we have a choice on what to do for the final exam.

oh no!

Hey guys! Hope all did well on the test yesterday! I wish I had my ride inorder to take my test, but my right was stuck in traffic. Although I am able to take my test on Monday I apologize if you guys do not get to see what your results are because of me. Other than at I now know to be there earlier or have a back up ride. Hope all passed! See you guys Monday!

Hello Everyone! Today in EN100, Test#4 was taken. It was a little difficult for me, as usual. Dr. Rivera informed us that there is another alternative to taking the final exam. I'd prefer to write a few poems or a 20 page skit, over the final exam that consists of 16 different chapters. That is scary. So, anyways good luck to anyone that will be taking the test soon. Meet you all on moodle Wednesday.

Test 4

Class took the test today. I can admittedly say this test was quite a challenge. The test was about analysis by division, process analysis, and cause & effect - Chapters 9, 10, 11. On another note, there is a new twist for the finals. Class has the option of either taking the test finals; or a do the special project - write a poem, a play or a short story. The Professor will send via email the details on the special project. It appears that I may be leaning towards the special project. Should be a lot of fun.

Monday

So today we took our last test in class. I'm dissapointed with all my other test scores! Hopefully this one I did good. Well other than that I am most definitely doing the special project to boost my grade up! Hope you all did good on the test and start deciding wheather to do the exam or the special project. Good Luck !

Test #4

Today, I truthfully feel like I did not do so well on the test. It was really confusing to me. I hope that we'll have another extra credit to help me out because I can tell my grade will drop. I'll be sure to study hard for the next one.

November 14

So today was test #4 day...I didnt go to class but I know I have to makeup this test next time we meet. I hope I do well because I am behind in so many things ): I hope everybody else did well and are satisfied with their grades! Dont forget, Wednesday is an online class for us. Have a good weekend!

test

So, today we took our chapters 9 - 11 test. I thought the level of difficulty was medium. I hope that I did good in that test. I can say that i studied for it. I'm really hoping to pass the test.

monday class

Today we had our test #4 in class. The test was based on chapter 9 to 11. It was a little difficult but i hope i did well. Have a good day everyone! See you online!

Test #4 November 14, 2011

Today we had our Test #4. I found it quite easy, however, I did get confused on some questions. I hope everyone had a good experience with this test. This is also our last test before the final exam! For those of you who are doing the special project, be creative and have fun. And for those that will be taking the final exam, study well!

Enjoy the rest of the day and see you all on moodle.

Test and Grades?

The test was harder then before. I actually go stuck on the fill in the blank part. After the test, I went online to check my Moodle account to check my grades. I was actually surprised to is what I got because it looked lower then it should. After calculating it manually, I found out that I was missing one letter grade. I'm not sure why it's like that, but I would want to ask Dr. Rivera about it.

November 14, 2011

today, we had our Test #4 and it was about Chapters 9-11. We were also given an opportunity whether if we want to do a special project for our Final exam or do the regular exam. For me, I think I would choose to take the Final exam test rather than doing the special project because I am not really good at writing poems and such.

"Classifying"

Hafa Adai,

The chapter we went over was Chapter 12 Classification and Establishing Groups. In order to classify correctly, we should follow this procedure:

1. Select a plural subject.

2. Decide on a principle for grouping the units of your subject.

3. Establish the groups, or classes.

4. Write about the classes.

We had some interesting exercises.

blogg

So, today is a holiday. I went over chapters 9 - 11. I want to study before the test. I hope that I do well in this test.

Writing Process Worksheet

The writing process worksheet of Thung Tran was well written. She used listing as her form of writing process to develop her outline. I think she did well with her worksheet which led to her great write-up.

Wednesday, our class was held in our moodleroom. We had to read Chapter 13 and discuss the importance of compare and contrast. We also had to discuss about what we thought about Thung Chan's writing worksheet and his essay. I enjoy this chapter, I think it was easy. We use compare and contrast a lot.

wednesday class

Today class was held online in moodle. We went over chapter chapter 13. This chapter is about comparing and contrasting things. We also had to read Thung Chan's writing process worksheet and tell what we think about his work and tell if we use the same process or not. His worksheet was well written and organized.

Online Class!

Today we had to go on Moodle. I had a pretty stressful day so having an online class was pretty convenient. We had to discus about comparison and contrast and also share our thoughts about an essay. I hope everyone remembered to go on Moodle! See you all soon!

Moodle 11/9

We learned about Chapter 13 today. Comparing and contrasting should be quite the refresher for everyone. I know that it was helpful to learn about the 4 Ps and recap on what comparing and contrasting is. On another note, I wish everyone good luck on the test next week!

November 9

Today was an online class session and all we had to do was discuss what the comparison and contrast method is and to discuss the writing process worksheet provided by Thung Tran. Comparing and contrasting different things are actually really easy to do. I'm sure we'll get to go over it again in class together which would really help us more.

See everyone back on Monday. Have a safe weekend :)

Moodle Wednesday!

So our class today was online. We discussed about comparison and contrast. It was an easy topic. I hope everybody will be able to do theirs on time!

Monday nov. 07

On Monday, we went over chapter 12, which is about classification. We did some exercises about classification and how to tell if it is overlapping or not. They were easy, but I'm still confused about the different classification. I hope that I can study to make it clear to myself.

Comparison and Contrast

Showing similarities and differences is what this chapter speaks to. There is also the 4Ps method, such as purpose, points, pattern and presentation. We were also task to provide comments on Thung Tran's writing process worksheet which was nicely done. Thung used the 'Listing' method to bring her essay together. The key points found in her listing

oct. 31

Sorry guys that this is so late. On this day, we had our class online and we had to list down the difference between cause and effect and give some examples. Cause is the reason something happened and effect is the result of the action. We experience this daily so everyone should be able to understand it.

Monday class

Sorry to blog really late. On monday we went over chapter 12. This chapter is about Classification on Establishing Groups. We discussed on how to use a subject without overlapping. We also did exercise one in class which was about overlapping and exercise two that is about classifying.

Online Class

Today, our class was held on our Moodle room. We have to discuss about comparison and contrast. We are also asked to give examples. I think that having a topic that really interest us is really a good idea.

Next class we are going to take our Test #4 and it deals with Chapters 9, 10, and 11. Goodluck to us and Have a great weekend.

Hi Guys!

So today's class is held online, I went over the book and did some exercises. Figured out compare and contrast. I also went over the writing process work sheet and got to see how Tran used it on his story. Well I hope You guys did the assignments too, and see you all next week!

blogg

So today, we had online session today. We went of chapter 13. It was about camparision and contrast. It was a really good lesson if you ask me. I learned alot.

Moodle Wednesday

Today is once again our scheduled online class in moodleroom. For today's lesson, we have to discuss what comparison and contrast is and provide examples of this writing method. We also have a second discussion where we have to discuss our thoughts on the Writing Process Worksheet completed by Thung Tran. Explain if you would or wouldn't use the same techniques he has done and why.

See you all next week and study for our upcoming test!

cr. http://financialducksinarow.com/654/traditional-ira-v-roth-ira-compare-contrast/

Today in EN100, we met online. We were told to discuss comparison and contrast. Comparison and contrast is a method of showing similarities and differences between subjects. We were also told to give an example of the method. I compared and contrasted Beethoven and Mozart. Another part of the moodle assignment was to discuss what we thought about how Thung Tran used the writing process worksheet to write his essay.

Classification - Establishing Groups

Chapter 12 speaks to writing classifications, basically putting persons, places, things or ideas into groups or classes based on their characteristics. There are four basic guidelines to achieve classification writing: select a plural subject; decide on a principle for grouping the units of your subject; establish the groups or classes and write about it. In order to get a sense of feel to writing classifications, the class performed some exercises and shared their information. This helped with how the format and breakdown entailed.

Yesterday, in EN100, we received our test#1 papers. We then started Ch.12 Classification: Establishing Groups. When you classify things, you are putting persons, places, or things into groups or classes based on their characteristics. We did several classification exercises. The lesson was quite easy. See you all on moodle Wednesday!

Hey everyone!

I couldn't make it to class yesterday, but i was able to go over Chapter 12: Classification- Establishing Groups. I learned that if you want to explain by classification, you have to put persons, places, things, or ideas into groups or classes based on their characteristics. Classification deals with more than one unit, so that the subject is plural. I found it very understanding. I also read that you all saw your grade for Test#3, I was not surprised at my score! That test was pretty tough! I'm glad I did the extra credit!

11/7

Today we went back to our old classroom. We learned about classification. This is when you organize things into perspective groups of your choosing. This really helps out when needing to organizing the content of things.

11/07/11

Today was the first time I have been in room EC101 instead of the computer lab upstairs. We discussed chapter 12, which is about classification and did three exercises. On saturday, I volunteered for the Language Arts Conference. I had a great time listening to the speeches and eating good food. Even if it was a challenge for me to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get ready, I am glad I went, had fun and got extra credit.

November 7, 2011

Today, in class we read about Chapter 12 which is about the classifications. We also dd the exercises which was a lot of fun.

Dr. Rivera also showed us our grade for the Test #3 and I did not do well on this one and I am glad that I took the Extra Credit which I think will help me. And I should really study more on the next exam.

Classification November 7

For today's class session we have started on Chapter 12: Classification. Classification is basically explaining the characteristics of groups, persons, places, things or ideas. When classifying, you must have a principle, which is the controlling idea. Arrange your classification in terms of classes, which relates to that of your subject. We did Exercise 1 which allowed us to identify classes that overlap, or have no relation to the principle. We also did Exercise 2 where we had to classify items commonly seen in a yard sale into groups.

I found today's class very informative and I had a better understanding of classification. See you all in moodleroom on Wednesday!

November 7

Hey guys,
So, Dr. Rivera suggested I put up a picture of my new baby boy. Because of this little guy, I've still been out of class! And what a blessing, the both of us have the same birthday! But thankfully, I should be back next week!

ANYWAY, I know today you all went through Chapter 12. Unfortunately, I had to read through it on my own and this chapter teaches about "Classification." Classification is basically putting persons, places, things, or ideas int groups or classes based on their characteristics.
I also see from earlier blog posts that you all got your test results back from test #3. I have to makeup that test as well. Hopefully it wasn't hard at all. How did everyone do? Dont forget, class on Wednesday is an online session, Therefore, I'll see everyone back next week! Have a safe weekend!

blogging

Hello fellow classmates. So today, we read chapter 12. We learned classification. We also got our test results back. I didnt do so well, but I guess thats my fault. I should study more.

Wednesday

So, I just came back from Bangkok and i thought that there was school today. Lucky my friends told me there wasnt. I'm pretty excited to know my grade for the test. I don't think i did well on it. It was a pretty hard test if u ask me.

November 2

NO CLASS TODAY!!!!
As we all know, today was a Holiday. All Souls Day.
I sure hope everyone had a blessed day...See everyone next week!

All Souls Day

Today is All Souls Day therefore we don't have classes. May all your loved ones that have passed on rest in peace.

Cause & Effect

Chapter 11 speaks to the cause and effect that deals with reason and result. Applying this method is one other form to allow the reader to better understand the passage as it elaborates in asking the question - Why? and What now? There will be more details displayed in using 'cause' and 'effect' and I think its great. I was also able to read the essay written by Richard Blaylock and it was very motivating and uplifting. I was quite inspired. His writing process worksheet was also well written that led him to produce such an easy flowing essay. I would definitely use his worksheet as a guide and reference piece.
