How does this class seem different from other English classes you've had in the past?
I think that this English class that I am in right now is more fun because we do everything on the computer. All of the other English classes that I have been in were boring because you hardly ever went on the computer unless if you had to type something. I like to go on the computer so I think that it is easier to learn and pay attention when you are doing something that you like to do.
What's your favorite thing about your web page and why?
Oh I like everything on my web page. I don't think that I could decide on any part of it to be my favorite. I don't see how anyone could have a favorite part of their web page. If they do say that they have a favorite part, I think that they are just saying that. It is just all so good!
If an outsider visited your site, what would you hope he or she would think about it?
Well...I already know what an outsider thinks of my website. Her name is Mrs. Wearne. She thought that my website was cute :), something else?, fantastic, and magnificent; and that is what I would hope that an outsider thought of my website after they looked at it.
Even though you are too young to vote, it won’t be long. You should be aware of what is going on in the world and in our country. So, I want you to write a five paragraph journal entry explaining who you would vote for for president if you were able to, and give three good reasons why. In case you don’t know, the people still in the race are Republicans John McCain and Mike Huckabee and Democrats Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama.
If I were old enough to vote for the president of the United States, I would vote for Barack Obama. I don't really know why I would vote for him because that is who my whole family is going to vote for him. He's a Gangster, Straight-up.
What has been most challenging or frustrating for you in this class and how have you met the challenge or overcome the frustration?
The most challenging thing that I have had in this class is trying to figure out how to put everything on this website. I overcame this by asking people questions.
Writing collaboratively can be challenging and rewarding. Write about your experience writing with another person.
Well… I have had many experiences with writing with another person. I didn’t like most of them, but some were fun. This one time I was with AARON CARTER and we wrote about a moose. His name was Mildred. That was a great time because AARON CARTER is a fun person to write with. He makes writing a fun time. He just knows how to make everything about writing exciting and fun. So that was my fun writing experience.
END OF THE YEAR REFLECTION
In May, write a longer journal entry, separate from your monthly entries. Label it "End of Year Reflection" and write about 350-400 words, minimum. In this piece, look back on the entire journey, the whole semester in Cybercomp. Write about how you are different now from who you were at the beginning of the semester.
You should look back at each of your weekly cyber journal entries to remind yourself about how you've grown. In addition, use the questions that follow to help you develop your reflection.
You should write a short introduction and a conclusion. Be sure that you write unified, coherent paragraphs. Each paragraph needs a main focus and a topic sentence. Check for conventions errors. Consider word choice carefully. Listen to your voice. Does this piece of writing express how you feel and think? Have you supported your ideas with reasons (that show why and how) and examples (to illustrate what you say)?
This part of your cyber journal is worth 50 points.
Here are some questions to help you generate ideas; you are not limited to writing "about" the following:
Oh, I have learned many different things on my long journey throughout this class. I would have to say that the most exciting thing that I learned is how to make a very fun and exciting web page. This is a pretty great website, although it would be better if there was a picture of a Kangaroo battling against a hippo in a death match. Hungry for cheese like a hungry hungry hippo. I have better computer skills than I had at the beginning of the year. that is the most valuable skill that I have learned because I am on the computer a lot and it is very helpful to me when I know what I am doing. I have became a better writer in many different ways. One way is that I can think of great ideas to write about and I can do that very quickly too. Having a web page doesn't really affect how I learn, being on a computer affects how I learn more because I like to be on the computer. I believe that in this Cyber comp class I have learned more than I wished for.
