CITaTiiOONNS

Citations are so hard! How to cite them, How many authors, what kind of citation, where was it published, what date to go by...etc. everything is just so hard! At least for me. There is an easy way to do it though! One i learned from Mrs. Yenna, a search engine type of thing that does it for you!!!! ( wait i think she said to never tell anyone=] jk ). Although there are these types of things, you cant help but wonder if you are putting the right information into the right place... ahhhh just drives me crazy!!!

DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS

So I've always been so use to writing an essay exactly how I write an outline. Kind of like "dont color outside the lines" type of thing. But on September 2, 2009 we went over how to do and not to do an outline. Not that there is a right or wrong way to do it but that there shouldnt be only one way to do it. So I've taken that approach and tried something different. AHHH! its like learning a whole different language for me. I've done it the standard way since like 5th grade and every english teacher that I have ever had, has all taught me the similar way. I guess it's something new to learn and I guess its better to learn different ways...

So I've come to realize a couple things in english class. 1. Do your homework in a timely manner. 2. Ask questions. and last but not least 3. Its not as hard as it seems.

I must admit writing an English paper is pretty difficult for me because I can never really start it off no matter how hard I try. After doing the first paper, I realize that there are parts I need to leave out and other parts I should really put in the paper. Another problem of writing an essay paper that I find difficult is..... DO NOT USE TEXT LINGO! Remember! You're writing an actual paper no smileys, no lol's, and as much as I actually wanna put one on here as I write I find it so hard to not put one of those on here. But hey! at least I find learning the Rhetorical Situations helpful. I guess I'm done with this first one. Im not much of a blogger.
