Write Tips

Re-write, re-write, and re-write. Tear every sentence apart and analyze it. Does it flow? Is it passive or active? The best writers use an active writing voice as much as possible. So instead of saying: “She picked up the pencil,” say instead, “She grabbed the pencil.” Don’t sweat it if it seems to take a century to create something good, that’s how you learn. And with experience the writing process becomes easier. Promise.

I think that is a great tip, because we children hate to re-write, re-write, and re-write. We like to things aside till the last minute. As she said grab the pencil don’t pick up the pencil! You should do what your told when to you’re told to! So you won’t have to worry about weather or not you have done it.

Weblogs & Learning

I think in middle school we should have weblogging because it helps people to learn things that they don't already know about! It would also help us to read what other people think and to comment on it. I think it would be an excellent way for us to explain ourselves! We could get the news out to the entire school. I think it makes teens not talk as much in class as they usually do! Teens could tell each other what to study for and what is coming up. It is  kind of like text messaging but you can't carry it around!

Spilling the Beans

I got this story from Ashley's story.  Here is  some of what Ashley wrote.

Spilling the beans is when you give away a secret. You can make people really when you do that. I know my sister did that on my birthday, too. I laughed at her because she said I always spill the beans. Mom told her not to tell me, but she did any ways. I use to spill the beans all the time! My family would bribe me in to telling them especially my mom. They would yell at me for it. Now I have learned to keep secrets to myself!

My writing has improved

Over time my writing has improved. Now I use vivid words, and a stronger vocabulary. I need to improve how long my writing is. I have improved a lot since the first day of school. I love answering my comments! You get to make your own choices on what you’re going to write about. Did you know that you get to write on your own weblog? I own one. It’s called Lacey’s weblog. Sometimes I get confused with punctuation. I usually start with a good sentence. (Not done)
