Love for Basketball

The thing I love is basketball. Basketball to me is like a dog is to a bone. I like basketball becau it's a thing t do when you're bored.I first got in to basketball because of my brother who also loves basketball. He taught me to keep my head up even if Ididn't make a goal. He taught me a lot of tricks to do to the other player which is going against me.

I like basketball becuase it's a thing todo when you're bored. One day hen I grow up I want to be a professional basketball player and play on a famous basketball team. If I go to college I want to go on a basketball scolarship. I will work really hard to be a good basketball player. I will keep my grades up to be a basketball player in middle schooland in High school. Thats what I will like to take my basketball expierence.

In basketball you use all body parts such as your arms and legs. You use your arms because you reach for the goal. You use your legs to run and jump for the goal. So that means you get good excersise. The most thing that I like about soccer is that you use teamwork and your not on your on for the hole team. The team and you work together to play a good game.Thats why I really love basketball.

Rank the sports on a scale of 1-10. Perhaps you would like to give reasons for rankings. I sure would love to hear from you.

Black History Month

I like this report because it tell about  a true American hero. It also tells about his famous speeches. For example Martin Luther King Jr. wrote " I have A Dream".

This is a quote which Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech.

"I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream...a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character"

 

I think he really put his heart into his speech. I like the speech because he writes not about himelf but for every African American who has had problems from the authorities from being a different skin color than others.

Probability In Students Life

Probability is used in many different grades for students. I like the post Claire posted about how students use probability in different grades. She tells how they use it. She tells the QCC Standards for each deffinition of 6th,7th,and 8th grade.

This is what Claire wrote:     QCC Standard (grade 8) 38- Identifies possible outcomes of simple and compound experiments, and predicts or describes the probability of a given event, expressed as a rational number from 0 through 1.
QCC Standard (grade 7) 37- Conducts and interprets a compound probability experiment.
QCC Standard (grade 6) 45- Explores the relationship between actual outcomes (experimental probability) and expected outcomes (theoretical probability).

I really like what she wrote about.I think she wrote it the way she thinks students should use and it would make there writing better. She said it will help them better. 

"Whew" I Have Learned A Lot!!

    In the begining of webblogging I thought I would get what we would be doing. But now I've learned  more about writing it isn't funny. Now,I would love to do this forever. I've learned my voice counts. I've learned a lot.

           On the first day of webblogging it seemed so hard I thought I would never get it. Then we started to write writings of current eventsand many more events thet go around in our life. Then I learned there were posts that we typed in typepad. When we posted thenm, student,teachers,and many more people from around the world comment on the post. When they comment on them we read them and respond to the comments on them.That is what we did in the begining. Now we are writing and responding(communicating) to students at Georgia State University. We are giving them advice for being teacher-to-be. While we are doing that we're learning hoe to blog.Blogging is when you read a post and write the URL and make a hyperlink to it. Then after that we write what we like about it. We write how we feel about the writing and what is our opinion about what they wrote about.Then we post on our weblog. That is what I've learned so far.

Explain what you think was very fasinated about what I've learned.

Learning From My Friends

Today I read a post from my friend Alejandra it was called Webbloging. 

The post I read was a good post which made me really think. The post made me think that I need to check my work for spelling mistakes.

                                 This quote is from Alejandra's writing:

" and people would see your mistakes."

         I like the post because it looks like she really put her best foot forward and really stuck her writing out. I think that the post could be very useful to students who really like to preview their writing. She really thought about what a good thing to do if you want people to like your writing. I really think that people should use her advice and their writings would be fantastic.

Get Well Soon Ashley

Dear Ashley,

               Hey, whats up Ashley! How have you been? I know you haven't been feeling too well. When I heard what happened I was really sad because I could have lost a very good friend. I know that you are not feeling too well but I will do anything to make you much better. I wish I could of called you the first time you didn't come to school so I could of knew what was going on. You are a great friend I would not want to lose you. I have never been in a serious accident,but my mom had a bad accident last year. If she wasn't wearing a seat belt she would have died so I know what could of happened to you and I'm glad it didn't. Thanks for being a good friend. Get well soon.
