Final Post

This year has been a wonderful year for me as a weblogger. I speak for everyone when I say we will miss weblogging and our technology teacher Mrs. Davis. This year has been a wonderful, learning, and growing year for me. I really wish we could weblog next year. I really hope that if the people next year would have as much fun as I did during weblogs I will remember this year forever. It will be hard to say bye to everyone. The things I have learned this year in weblogging is that I can show my voice and I don't have to act like someone I don’t even know. I learned how to use my opinion in my writing. In other words I have learned an amazing amount of good things. There are no words to express how I fell about saying good-bye. I will miss everyone including Mrs. Davis. Thanks for a wonderful year WEBLOGS!!!

I Have Learned A Lot!

I have learned many things throughout the year from weblogs. When I first came to weblog group I really didn't like writing as much as I do now. The biggest deal for me that I have learned is to use your voice. I have learned that my voice counts in my writing. When you use your voice in your writng it shows your personality. In your own writng you should always write about your opinion. I'v also learned how to organize my weblog and how to make it the way I feel it should be. From the begining of weblogs to now, I really understand how my writng has improved. From the begining I really didn't write as much as I do know. In the begining I wrote 1 or 2 paragraphs now I write 1 or 2 pages, or more. I've learned how to make fantastic comments to my fellow students and how to respond to the people who commented on my weblog. If I had the chance to write on weblogs next year in 6th grade I would love to. Writng on weblogs really made my think of how good I can improve my writing abilities. I have learned many things from weblogging.

The Future Will Soon Come For Weblogs!

From the past time I have have been in weblogs I think it is a good source of writing abilities from students. I think for the future of weblogs it should be that the students who have free time should have at least 30 minutes from the class and go to another grade to interview on what they are doing in the class. Then they could go to the weblogs on the day of the meeting and write on how different the grade does than the other grade. The future could also be a weblog that the students want to write about but it should be educational but in your on way. You should make it the way your personality fits it. That's how I think the future for weblogs should be.

Weblogs

Today, my technology teacher Mrs. Davis gave me an extra report to do about Inappropiate Comments. Which she wrote herself. It gave me an opinion why weblogs shouldn't get closed by Inappropiate Comments.

This is my opinion on weblogs. (below)

Weblogs are a way of expressing yourself. If we didn't have weblogs many students would keep their emotions (feelings) inside. I have to say, weblogs are a way for me to coraperate with others. Many students respect weblogs ane trust it. Weblogs are amazing.
If weblogs get closed then many students would feel lonely. Weblogs should't get closed just because of some ignorant children wanting to show off. Weblogs make a difference in schools for students because they set their mind to it and put your best foot forward and they are not lacking on any of their work. Students learn better writing stratagies. Weblogs shouldn't get closed down especially because of bad comments because we can just erase them. If bad notes come around 4th or 5th grade
students it probably wouldn't mind because the note that are being typed they already know. So just erase them and get on with your life. Weblogs shouldn't get shut down they are to valuable for students.

Lonely Dreams

Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Jessica. She lived in Los Angelas, California. Her parents never paid any of attention to her. They never cared what she wanted or didn't want They always made her do what they wanted and that was it. She always dreamed of becoming a famous singer. They always wanted her to be a teacher. The kind of singer she wanted to be wa an R&B singer. When she had an audition her parents never took to her to them, it was always her friend's mother.Her friend was always the one who encouraged her to become a singer She had an amazing vioce just like the birds chirping in the spring. She made all of the auditions and became the lead character in the school play. She love to be in plays just to sing the joyous music. Her parents never came to any of her plays, they always say that it wasn't important. Jessica always felt alone when her parents didn't come to her plays. Her parents would always say they had better things to do.When she was a littlle bit older a scout came to her school. After that she made it on BET and MTV they are both t.v. shows that shows lots of music videos. When they asked her what her parents thought about her singing, she would always say she didn't know because her parents never wanted her to become a singer. She also said she had to make her dream come true all by herself. She told them that she never got any of their blessings. Now that she is famous and completed her dream her parents regret anything that they ever said about singing.

 This morning when I came to weblogging I knew that it was going to be a great day because we got off to a good start. First we went on our weblog and commented to the students at Georgia State. We wrote advice to them because they want to be  teachers. I liked what one girl wrote to me and her name was Laquimah Bush. She made me feel that my voice was also needed in college for student to become what they wanted. She had a great comment. I responded back to her comment she wrote to me. After that, we looked at our group weblog which is called “The Write Weblog”. After that we went to the GSU weblog which is called “Technology & Teachers”. Then we linked to the students of GSU blogs. Then we learned about blogging. We responded to a piece of their writing. At last we made hyperlinks from the URL’s .That is what we did today.

This is what Tiffani wrote:

I only was on the computer when I needed to be in high school. I never used any of my leisure time on it. Only when I had to do reports or I had to type was when I used the computer.

This is what I wrote to her:

 

I like this piece of your writing because you tell the truth and not just making it up like most people do, for example most people say they love computers but they really can’t stand computers. I am just like you because I only use computers at school. I have a computer at home but I’m not obsessed to it like the only thing I do is on the computer. I am only on the computer when I’m bored. Great post, keeps up the good work.

My Writing Is Improving

          Writing Builder

     WOW! The weblog group has helped me a lot for my writing.   I have used many different strategies to make my writing improve. I have used vivid words and better vocabulary. I have done a better job writing because I use my personality in my writing, I include my voice in my writing, I use many of my choices, and I have freedom over my writing. I use different kinds if tips in my writing such as comment starters, tips of making my story come alive, and many more things. I make good leads and I use the right kind of punctuation marks for my writing. I like having ownership of my writing so I can organize it the way I want to and express my ways of writing so my audience will have a joyous time reading.The weblog group has helped my to write better.
